And So It Begins: DMN-FWST content sharing

In today's edition, DMN ran Fiesta Bowl game story by FWST's Jimmy Burch with a "special contributor" tag under his name. DMN used its own Chuck Carlton for a front page column.

 

ugh

 

Didn't DMN use S-T's coverage from the Poinsettia Bowl, too, under the special contributor tag?

 

Bound to happen. Look at Washington and Baltimore and other places that are following suit.

 

So many acronyms ....

 

Here's one: STFU

 

At least they were in Arizona covering the Fiesta Bowl---no longer something you take for granted in these days, even with UT playing in the game.

 

But, in SoCal, you have alternatives to Team Singleton: the Times, Register and Press-Enterprise. If Dallas and Ft Worth run the same story, where can you find an alternative story with a local angle?

 

If this continues, merge the papers. No need to make two pretty good papers look like crap just for the sake of sharing content.

 

This will not end well.

 

Mike DeCourcy is going to be PISSED. [/oldsj]

 

Kinda apples and oranges, Buck...those are papers under the same corporate (tattered?) flag. These are two, um, competitors.
