Julian? If we're thinking of the same guy, yes, he was great.
He did the Chronicle, Dallas Morning News and a bunch of others.

I don't really see any celebration here. People posting their exoeriences with the paper, what they see today, and thoughts and opinions on the paper's future.Clucky said:
Amazing how people celebrate the downfall of a local business that has been her for over 130 years. Sure, it's not owned locally any longer, but there are still people that work there that live in this community and cover it daily. I hate to see the new changes myself, but such are the times we are in.
Griping about the local newspaper is an American tradition - so have at it. But the first "new" issue came out today, and it had a lot of good local content.
Many moons ago I subscribed to the Chronicle. It was delivered by the same guy who delivered the Eagle.tb9665 said:
Does the Houston Chronicle still deliver here everyday?
The same guy delivered the Eagle, The Chronicle and the Wall Street Journal. The lady across the street got all three and I take it over to her back door every morning....she is not 102 years old.techno-ag said:Many moons ago I subscribed to the Chronicle.

I'm not concerned that The Eagle is dying. Businesses come and go and life moves on. My concern is that the news is getting more and more tightly controlled. There's been multiple videos over the last few years showing what people think are "local" TV news shows reading the exact same script. There is no local news if the editorial control is a national syndicate with a national perspective. It would surprise me to find out there's more than maybe 10 companies with the ability to actually create news stories. That's a significant amount of control in the hands of a very small group of people and worse still those people are very tightly aligned with a government that's proven it's willing to conspire to suppress free speech. It's not the death of the Eagle but rather the death of local news written by people we know and trust because they're our neighbors.
That's all the local news in all formats uses as a basis for their stories. And it's blatantly biasedGSS said:
The Texas Tribune is slick at claiming to be "nonpartisan", but slips editorial content, and selective reporting, into virtually every article. The Eagle's response was "the Tribune articles are free, as long as we do no editing or corrections...".
What a great way to be a media influencer, selective "facts" over real journalism.

Even if people really wanted no slant news and a newspaper met that demand it's still a failed model because it's a dying medium. Fewer people are going to subscribe over time because there's more efficient ways to get their news.
