I've picked on the Journal Star's weather page before and I'll probably do it again. But come on, shouldn't the weather page somewhere make mention of the fact there is a Winter Storm Warning in effect today? Yes, I know that information is available elsewhere in the paper. But isn't that like having to turn to CNN to get information that you should be getting from The Weather Channel?

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
How much more compelling proof do we need that our paper sucks?
Matt O’s blog and the Husker coverage is about all I need. Not sure why I even subscribe to the paper edition anymore. My reading is one short stop between the delivery and the recycle bin (and it’s NOT the LJS recycle bin).
Speaking of the cheap LJS - what’s with the paper curling so much lately. Cheaper paper? Too much ink on the ads?
And I HATE those wrap-around grocery ads that are like 4 inches of front page and a whole back page. Makes it hard to just read the paper.
Soon, it will be 30 pages of ads, and 2 pages of news, plus a Cindy Lange-Kubick column and some bitchy letters to the editor. That will be it.
I heard on KLIN the other day that they’re changing their page width to smaller - has that already happened? And if so, it may be to source of the page curling.
On a related note, every Wednesday the Journal Star leaves their trash (some may call it a free paper) on my front door. This is almost as bad as the phone books.
I’m okay with the free paper, but it seems kind of pushy. Apparently they’re sponsored by Hy-Vee or the B&R;people. They’d go a lot further in impressing me if instead of giving me a free paper once a week, they’d just give me a bottle of scotch once a year.
Amen to that
