FlintTalk.com Forum Index > The Flint Journal Topic: Quoting people from here in the FJ..

Author    Post   Smakutus F L I N T O I D I see a poster here was quoted in a story in today's Journal.. It's one thing to have a "talkback" section and let people rant on many subjects, but getting quotes for a story from a message board and not printing a editorial every day seems more lazy than cutting edge to me. Jeff Fri Jun 20, 2008 6:08 pm  Flinn's Journal F L I N T O I D I was quoted in a FJ Burton News article about the two remaining drive-in theaters in Genesee County. While I work in Flint Township, I live in the city, to correct the article: http://www.mlive.com/flintjournal/business/index.ssf/2008/06/flint_journal_extras_header_he.html Last edited by Flinn's Journal on Mon Jun 23, 2008 10:39 am; edited 1 time in total _________________ I HAVE SEVERED MY TIES WITH FLINTTALK.COM BECAUSE TROLLS CANNOT BE CONTROLLED ON THIS BOARD. Mon Jun 23, 2008 10:32 am  Demeralda F L I N T O I D Okay, what specifically are you referring to, Smakutus? Gary Flinn or me? Just FYI, I use this handle on the Mlive message boards, as well. _________________ I'm no model lady.

While I report area news about movie theaters in that web site, I had nothing to do with this submission: http://cinematreasures.org/news/19222_0_1_0_C/ _________________ I HAVE SEVERED MY TIES WITH FLINTTALK.COM BECAUSE TROLLS CANNOT BE CONTROLLED ON THIS BOARD.

Jeff Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:27 pm  Demeralda F L I N T O I D Yeah they ganked my comment off the Mlive board. _________________ I'm no model lady.

Did they even contact you before using it? I've been told that the guy who wrote most of the Journal's editorials took the buy out.. Jeff Wed Jun 25, 2008 2:10 pm  Demeralda F L I N T O I D Actually, no, they did not. I guess they figure it's public domain if it goes up on their site. Never thought about it. From what I understand the Journal is rather a mess -- all buyouts and no hiring. And I wonder, with that many takers, what that says about working there... _________________ I'm no model lady.
