OK, if you like to use a magnifying glass to read the tiny print and you also enjoy sifting through the entire paper for articles buried underneath and around ads, The New Daily Times Is For You!
They start out telling you how its an easier newspaper to read and they attempt to convince you that since they spent $6,000,000.00 on a new press, this is the answer because you're going to love it, NOT!
It flat out sucks! It's like trying to read this Blog like this. From this point forward, you're going to love what we offer because we're going to make it smaller, just for you!
Things are NOT where they used to be, even though their message in the beginning tells you not much has changed. They must have also had a 70% Off Advertising Sale for this issue because everyone and their brother is advertising.
OK, here's the rest of the truth. To line the dog crates with this new size SUCKS! Sorry guys, I'm not impressed and neither will most of your clients. Looks to me like you're trying to save money at the customers expense.

Another Bullseye for you!
Now their junk journalism looks the part.
joe, if you actually read the paper you will see where it says that the type size didn't change...
I did read the paper and then I went over and picked up yesterday's paper and let me assure you, the image size was almost 1/2 the size. Pull out damage control all you want Greg, you print/image side is MUCH smaller.
I don't trust and believe a damn thing that paper puts out and when I saw it was in fact smaller, I knew the paper may have changed but the lies continue.

LIAR! The D in yesterdays banner is 1 1/8 inches, the same D in todays banner is 7/8ths in height. The font is noticeably smaller and the ink is lighter when compared to yesterdays paper.
Do you think because you say it, we believe it? Just like Barrie Tilghman when she says it, everyone researches it because like your leader you are known to lie.
SMALLER PAPER !!!!! MUST NOT BE ALOT GOING ON OUT OF SALISBURY CITY LIMITS. MOST OF THE STUFF IN THE DAILY DISSAPOINTMENT IS OUT OF TOWN NEWS ANY WAY. CANT WAIT TILL MY SUBSCRIPTION RUNS OUT. EVERYTHING I NEED IS RIGHT HERE ON ALBERO'S SITE DAYS BEFORE THE TIMES PUTS IT OUT. 16 VOLLEY

Your assessment of the Daily Dissapointment is right on! How in Hell does the Times leadership have the gall to brag about todays publication.
Almost without exception the use of colors is amaturest. If you compare,and I did, the color use in the Diassapointment to the USA Today is as though the Times was using the bucket method.
I sure hope Gannett is proud of what they have on the Shore cause ain't nobody else proud of it.The sad part is that many of "Old Timers" remember when it was a good paper, run by honest and caring employees. The bunch they got there now neither care for the community they serve or the people in it.
Totally agree with all comments so far. I stopped the Disgrace back almost a year ago now and am certainly glad I did. I get better info and faster right here on Joe's blog. Keep it coming Joe!
I believe that this is really the wave of the future, for reporting news!

kzqedJoe, You are correct in your assessment of the DAILY RAG.iT STINKS AND THIS IS WHAT THEY GET FOR 6 MILLION DOLLARS.Sounds like a decision made by the 3 monkeys on the city council.
If the type appears smaller, the seniors are going to love it -- NOT.
And they are the prime readers of the rag.
Obviously this is the wave of the future and you have captured a major audience locally. I found you and I'm here to stay. The only way the Daily Times will ever get my business back is if you merge with them and we all know that's not going to happen.
Since I am a senior citizen and have a vision problem, do you think the Times can put the most important articles on a CD or could a new radio station be formed and read the paper to us in a continous loop daily? Another idea might be to put out a large print limited edition without advertisements like the Reader's Digest.I would try to pay an extra dollar a week for this service and stretch my social security income even further.
JOE ARE YOU EVER HAPPY WITH ANYTHING THEY DO?
Lots of people must have cancelled their subscriptions - this morning I saw a man walking up and down the median strip in front of SSU trying to sell them.
It is obvious that no matter how much you spend on a printing press it cannot replace the lack of skill and leadership at the "DD".
Now that the Bassetmans significant other will be un-employed in November she can spend some time at the "DD",giving direction.Hope she is better at that than she was at getting the "Little Man" re-elected.
Keep the faith folks, the old daily dissapointment has not entirely left us.
I can now report with a absolute degree of certainty that the Daily Dissapointment(new improved,not,version) still contains the same "BTU" content.
Thanks Bassetman for not screwing that up, I depend on those "BTU'S" when it is cold.
You folks just need to boycot it like I did 25yrs ago. Quit supporting them with your subscriptions and advertising fees {which is how you support corrupt/bias reporting}. Or would that cause you too much inconveinence?
They did NOT get a new press, they got a refurbished press for their $6 million dollars. They also didn't tell you that the first night in operation they couldnt get the paper out because the web kept breaking. I wonder if they bought Webcrafts presses?
Same shit, different location.
