the editors to include spanner, cox and most especially jim smith (executive editor) have refused to print my submissions/ letters for most of the past year because i have taken such exception to how allegedly biased, bigotted, discriminatory and unprofessional jim smith is in his actions.
none of my letters use profanity; make threats or abuse anyone. i am very hard on public/ private figures who abuse their positions, mislead the public or use funds to disadvantage the public. the news sentinel in parkersburg has allegedly prostituted itself for every possible advertising dollar even when those companies have lied, cheated and misled the customers/ voters/ taxpayers. no criticizem is allowed for fear of losing those accounts.

I too was glad to see Rick go,but it was a big mistake to have Brian Rowell take his place. These to abuse their power and have been at the paper too long.

I for one was happy to see Rudden leave.There were talented reporters who left the Daily Press on his account.

Try this one, They charge an astronomical price to print an obituary, and then they cant even print it on the correct date in the paper.I called and talked to JT Spanner and he blamed the funeral home. The Parkersburg News & Sentinel sucks!!!

Patt Abrahamson Escanaba, MI | Posted at 8:19am on Friday, March 19, 2010 |
I was a columnist for the Daily Press for 4 years. I am also a published writer on a national level. It is no secret that my column was the most popular column in the press. My second published book of the first two years of columns is a huge success. Rick Rudden was aware of the pulse of the community and what my column meant to the local "folks." However, Mr Crofton didn't have a clue and didn't care. His arrogance and indifference was the catalyst that caused me to discontinue my column. I am in my seventies and wrote about local history, sports, current events, local people, politics, the Depression and how it related to "us" (the folks that lived through it. I also interviewed local folks and did special stories. A quote from Rick Rudden who understood the significance of my column, "I have little doubt that Patt Abrahamson is one of the most poplular columists of the Daily Press. Week after week she touches her readers with humor, sensitivity and warmth. She has an innate ability to know what people care about."
To whom it concerns: Rick Rudden was well respected and had the unique advantage of being born and bred in this community. What a loss when he was eliminated by Crofton. Our community suffered as well as the Daily Press in their readership and probably in subscriptions. Dozens of people wrote when I stopped writing. Crofton printed only one. Incidently he also discontinued paying the pittance local columnists were getting.

It is time to bring back our former editor of the Daily Press (Escanaba,MI)...RICK RUDDEN...He received many awards for his leadership and was dismissed rather abruptly, some time ago...
His replacement did not work..so let us get back to what really worked for us...Thanks....

Since receiving the E Mail from the times, telling me that my letter would not be printed, I have resubmitted the letter with the parts deleted that they did not agree with.
I also have sent Ms. Houtman, an E Mail, showing Right Wing Extremists, calling the president and other officials, Murderers.
I have asked for an explanation, why my letter did not get printed, when all I did, was question why people running for city council, would pay thousands of dollars to get the job, when it pay's a pittance. I guess that was just too far over the line, according to her.
Ms. Houtman, is a right wing hack. She knows nothing about freedom of the press. To her, freedom of the press, is only free, if she agrees with it.
It is time for Ogden News, to rid itself of such idiots, and put someone in charge, who does not want to control the news, just print it.

Don't get your selves all worked up about Ogden's Newspapers. It will just be a few more years, and the whole News Paper industry, will be a thing of the past.
I can't say I will miss it either.
Long live the Internet, where real news can be discussed by all, not just the corporate elite.

I have lived in Marietta, for quite some time, and I agree with Mr. Combs. I have sent a letter to the editor on three different times, only to have them tell me it was not printable.
I have seen much worse stuff printed in this rag of a newspaper, against President Obama, Ted Strickland and Charlie Wilson, then that of any republican holding office.
I agree, that the only way to hold this paper accountable, is to not renew. Maybe we should contact the local democratic party, and get their mailing lists, and urge all democrats, not to subscribe to this Right Wing Piece of Junk.
Once we put them out of business, then we might be able to get a reliable paper, that does not side with the right wing extremists.

We have an editor, who considers herself the moral guardian of the community. If someone submits an article to the letter to the editor, and it does not coincide with her right wing believes, it does not get published.
I am about to solve that problem, by not renewing my paper, as it comes due the end of December.

UNTIL I LOOKED IT UP I THOUGHT THE ALTOONA MIRROR WAS OWNED BY RUPERT MURDOCK AND NOT ROBERT NUTTING. THE NEWS IT PRINTS IS SO CONSERVATIVE AND BIASED ITS ALMOST LIKE WATCHING FOX NEWS

This man is the scourge of the newspaper industry in many states, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Seven Spring Ski area both located in Pennsylvania.
With a carpetbagger mentality, and the values of an old school WV coal baron he is wringing the dollars out his customers with little regard for their needs or input.
Please vote with your dollars and let this dinosaur style of business rethink it's future!!!

I would like to contact Robert Nutting but am unable to find an email address anywhere. I've discovered that his sales staff in the Wheeling market share a computer. Hey, it's the 21st Century people!! You can buy laptops for a song! Also tried to get information on listing my new business in their EZ to Use Big Book but low and behold, there is no contact via email on that site. I'm having second thoughts about doing business with this firm.

I read a number of Ogden Newspapers and find them to be professional in content. The staff is courteous, informative, objective, and very cooperative. The Breeze, especially, is led editorially by, in my opinion, a true journalism professional.

I moved to the Jamestown, NY area a year and a half ago and have never witnessed an edition of the Jamestown Post-Journal that did not contain obvious and insulting grammatical errors. The writing has been sub-par, and the editing even worse. I frequently find errors in even the headlines. Despite my, and many others', complaints and corrections, it seems no one at the paper cares too much to put out a decent paper.

I recently placed my father's obituary in one of your news paper editions(Wheeling Intelligencer). I have emailed several times requesting help with little to no response.
My latest attempt in getting some assitance was sent in an email and was as follows: "I attempted to contact someone on Monday (4/9) and resolve the online record issue for my Father's Obituary.
I was contacted and assured the obituary was in the Sunday April 8th Edition of the Intelligencer (Wheeling News- Register). However, I requested information on why the online information skipped April 8th - Obituary information; there is currently obituary information for April 1st thru April 7th, and April 9th thru April 11th. I received an email stating, they did not know why April 8th was skipped and they would look into it. I responded, requesting information on when it would be available. Today, I have not received any response to why it was missed or when it will be available for review online.
Please help me out; I live in Florida and many of the relatives are no longer in Wheeling. The obituary was run in the Wheeling paper due to living there for many, many years and my father working and growing up there; however, I also knew the obituaries are online at your website for access. My wife also grew up in Wheeling and reads the paper online daily. She stated in the years of reading the online information she had never seen a day skipped.
In honor of my father and to a**t my family in a small way-- in their grieving process; please place the April 8th Obituaries (specifically my father's - Thomas C. Petry Sr.) online as normally practiced. This will mean a lot to my family and father's friends and to me."
Is there a chance you can help provide some assitance in getting this information placed online as normally done for, 14 days?
Thank you for your understanding and help!
Sincerely,
Thomas C. Petry Jr.
