Times Free Press Blogging? The Times They Are A-Changin'
So, I noticed an ad in Sunday's paper mentioning a new TFP blog and referring folks to the TFP homepage. It made reference to Bonnaroo and Riverbend, so I guess it will have an entertainment focus.
But wouldn't it be interesting if the TFP started blogging on news? My goodness, this could mean, well, actual real news available on the TFP site. Maybe even breaking news of some sort. Tom Griscom and Larry Henry are still holding focus groups with old people to determine what this "breaking news" might consist of.
Now, let me say that the TFP is pretty much the only news source that I really trust for Chattanooga info. But let's not kid ourselves - they are the slowest news outlet ever. Never mind the fact that it takes three clicks on their site before even having the chance to read a headline. The site is never updated. EVER. When the biggest story in recent memory in our state broke, you certainly wouldn't find anything on the TFP site. Everyone else from the Pulse blog to the Tennessean had at least something.
Anyway - here's hoping this mysterious and unexplained TFP blogging project goes well. It could potentially fill in a major hole in their coverage. Till then, I'll just keep reading press releases rewritten in their entirety on the Chattanoogan.
