Re: Thin Skin III

I was told today that the Argus only has around 18,000 subscribers that get the actual newspaper delivered to their door. It's a thing of the past for sure and it's not coming back.

IMO, this site is the best place to get info about SDSU sports. The only downside is having to wade through the drivel created by posters like myself.

Which reminds me: Remember to thank Filbert and his team of moderators for providing and maintaining this site. It fills a growing gap in fan information provided by other media in the region.

Re: Thin Skin III

Newspaper ads have lost value as readership has shifted from paper products to the web. Vast competition on the web, coupled with the reduced overhead of web products, are factors. Newspapers, magazines, TV and radio are all fighting similar economic battles. Advertising income is primarily what has sustained traditional media outlets, and there is more competition for advertising dollars than ever before.

Re: Thin Skin III

I started as a j-school major in the early sixties but only took a couple of courses from Paul Jess. Remember his comment that the production and delivery costs of a newspaper were approximately double the sales price-- that is if a paper cost a nickel there was a dime of newsprint and gasoline in there that had to be offset with advertising.

If that was true, I'm unable to figure out why an all advertising model on the web wouldn't be better. As I write this, there's all sorts of email chatter back and forth by people in my subdivision that they can't get delivery of the Post Dispatch. No wrappers, ruined by rain,; not delivered for days on end (I got several weekend papers that I didn't want or order). Repeated calls to the paper go unanswered, they tell them to call the delivery agent but the circulation department has no idea of who that is. Many of my neighbors state that they are cancelling after subscribing for fifty years.

I try to support papers by clicking on any display ad I find interesting, but don't want or need newsprint at this stage of my life. I just for the life of me can't figure out why cutting down trees and driving trucks around to mis-deliver papers is any kind of sustainable business model.

I really hope the Jackrabbit men get to play (and, once again, beat) the Yoties in the SL Tourney. What the headlines say the next day will be of little concern.

Re: Thin Skin III

I tend to think The Argus Liar is on life supports. Jimmy Jack whose opinion I value since he is working in this field has said more than once that newspapers are becoming a thing of that past. The current print edition seems to bearing that out. Sunday edition is the only one with four sections. To now have a beat writer do coverage in FW, does fit their current budget. Long term we have wonder what owner Gannet's plans are for The Argus Leader. Otherwise I agree with your post, it's written with emotions that are biased. Daum's 51 points was big, but is over shadowed by Wolters 53 a few years before. The only other 50 pt game I can recall was in 1951 at the SD Class B tournament where Stan Ullir scored 50 points. Stan was maybe 6'6, but huge for the 1950's. He played end in football and rode the pine in basketball. He schooled at Kadoka high which has closed its doors .

Stan is an SDSU grad.

Re: Thin Skin III

Pretty petty. I wonder if the letter writer noticed this past Sunday's sports section in the Argus Leader. Three of the four stories on the front page were about USD's basketball teams and the Coyotes' talented pole vaulter. I think I read about Mike Daum's 51 point game in a short story on the bottom of page 5. But there was a good story about Daum's performance a day or two later. A few years ago, an Argus reporter probably would have attended Daum's big game, which was played on the road and wasn't staffed. Any SDSU coverage the staff-challenged Argus Leader continues to provide is appreciated.

Re: Thin Skin III

I see threads titled like this and think "Oh, hell, what now?"

I thought someone wanted to discuss a bad porno they watched when I saw the title. Wondered why it was in smack...now I know.
