BONUS: News Journal Deathwatch
Sometimes when I wake up on Sunday Morning I check out DelawareOnline just to scan the headlines and see if anything is going on.
These days, when I see some like jumbled up garbage like this:
I figure that they’ve simply given up.
Bonus: this Ginger Wall photo is interesting.
With the toy van in the foreground and the row h0use behind, the bear looks to be about 30 feet tall.
It helps to deeplink to delawareonline.com/local.
Also, you can get rid of the popup and the ads with Firefox plugins Adblock and NoScript.
Point taken though.
Thank for the tip.
That deeplink won’t get you their “top” stories from A1, though, just the top stories from the local section, or what’s left of it.
It was actually halfway decent before Gannett took over all the sites and made them conform to the same look and feel. Check out nearly any other Gannett paper’s Web site – it’s got the same lousy, cluttered, confusing design.
I hate the NJ online site. It’s very difficult to navigate. I find it difficult to find stories that are in the day’s newspaper sometimes.
That photo is totally cool!
Anyway, more evidence that the NJ is in a death spiral. The NJ has a story about a funeral for a toilet. It’s a little funny, but they actually spent money to print this in the paper.
Since I have a hard time the the NJ online site, here’s an article on the subject, with more detail:
Shot up toilet getting final, formal flush
Oh and another one. The NJ ran a Community Voice about the evil Democrats are going to bring back the Fairness Doctrine.

You aren’t missing much.
Did you see the article on the private schools?
UI,
That’s called “filler copy.” As in, they’ve got a lot of pages to fill, and not enough local stories to fill them with. Wire copy is a time-honored tradition. It’s either a story about a toilet funeral or goings-on in Fuckwadistan.
