First APSE mandatory dates selected

Spnited, I know you're perpetually grumpy about such things, but to others, too ...

Guy started a thread; has the APSE mandatory dates, concerning a contest that will presumably continue despite industry problems. Presumably, some people might want those dates so they can, you know, save papers and eventually enter. He posted it on a journalism topics thread.

He did it in a completely informational way. Wasn't a very long thread; didn't wax poetic on the virtues of the contest. Didn't say, "Despite the terrible problems of our brethren, thank god we still have the all-important contests." It was one sentence, followed by two dates.

Industry news is terrible, but let's not lose our minds.

Oldpaint (3 posts?) Riddick: Some people give a shit. It's a bad time right now -- but life goes on.

 

My fourth post is the same as the third ...

Who gives a shit!?

 

Then why did you even call up the thread, oldpaint?

 

Well, at least you're out pushing the boundaries creatively.

 

Winners, APSE 2009:

1. New York Times
2. Boston Globe
3. New York Daily News

Everyone else hang it up. Contest over.

(Except Albom, of course.)

Any staff that doesn't have to fire anyone this year deserves an APSE award. I am serious about this.

 

You guys are nucking futs.

Thanks for the info, Azom.
