Complaint
I was informed by our managing editor for news that somebody called to complain about my football stories. The person said, he wished that _____ gets the same level of coverage as ______ and that the kids were disappointed.
Come on guys, give me a break. I've been giving equal space to all teams out there. (I never got to talk to the guy. So for those who have complains, call me, heck, i've posted my number here lot's of times, again its 09274400368)
My first reaction, when I was informed of the call, was that person must have not read our paper in months. But, I may be wrong, I may be seeing things in a different perspective.
So, am I?
I also thought, it may have something to do with the pictures that gets published in the paper. Yes, I think one school gets the lions share of the pictures, but it's not my fault.
During tournaments, the protocol in the newsroom is, the day before you sked the photo assignment. And i always write, Red Ribbon tournament at San Roque: 1 to 5 p.m., I never say what game to take photos of. Except during the finals, like: CIS cup, 8 to 5 p.m., finals starts at 3 p.m.
As to contributed fotos, heck, I've been telling everybody with a camera to send me a picture, and so far, only one school sends me one.
So give me a break, will you?

i think the complainant isn't a regular reader. i understand the restrictions and protocol inside the newsroom. i should know - as of last count, i have three cousins working for your paper and two at CDN and i've been explained how stories get printed. heck, i'm even married to a masscom grad.
don't let it get to you.
we are using old photos because our photogs dont show up for the red ribbon games. Yap, you can contribute, just send your photos to my email. Thanks for your words, darn, was a bit tipsy when i posted this entry last night.
hehehehe.
