Dave Danforth:
"...One way to save fine journalism is to reconsider how it’s delivered. We’re not doing writers much of a favor by assuming that it must be wrapped in long-doomed customs rooted in the belief that real journalism, to be valuable, must always carry a price counted in quarters or dollar bills.
It’s not a matter of proving the worth of fine writing. It’s about re-thinking the marketing and distribution of information. We may not have to go entirely digital to survive. ..."

SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News "The party crasher and partisan paper"
Dave Danforth:
"...Newspaper writers take political positions when they pen editorials. Whether they move minds is dubious, but they often validate at least a few loosely formed opinions. They may — or may not — be better politically informed.
Editorials rarely exclude a candidate simply on the basis of party. It may be widely assumed that the New York Times is more likely to support Democrats or that U-T San Diego, owned by a conservative, will back Republicans. But it’s unusual for writers to put themselves on the record, even on tape, as hopelessly biased before the starting gun sounds.
Nobody is surprised that with owner Doug Manchester in control, U-T San Diego would back a Republican. But it violates more than a few unspoken rules of decorum to declare in public that the deck is stacked before the game begins....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Comments: Pueblo Chieftain "We'll be there to provide the battleground "
There is no state more important in this presidential cycle than Colorado.
Conservative Coloradans, whether Republican or unaffiliated/Independent, are champing at the bit when they think about the Colorado GOP.
After the debacle of mid-terms, to sit here for two years and watch them still unorganized, little unity, no real plan set in motion and absolutely refusing to bring their noses down a notch or two for anyone who has 'left the party' here in our Rocky Mountain State; is really frustrating.
Watch for the Colorado GOP to get another eye-opening round of reality as we move toward November 2012. All those left leaners that will not vote Obama and all unaffiliated voters (roughly 1/3 of the state) will blow right on by them. Events not as well attended as they would like, decreased enthusiasm and the list goes on are things the Colorado GOP can count on.
Will we still put the conservative candidate chosen into the White House in November?
Sure will.
Unfortunately, probably without the Colorado GOP working too hard.
Conservative candidates:
The Pueblo Chieftain, The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, Steamboat Today, the Greeley Tribune are the print news you want watching you. If it's in the Chieftain and you've got commentators on it; you're covered.
"This year's local elections are going to be fun.
In particular, the races for two Pueblo County Commission seats and for the district attorney's office are going to be fascinating.
Oh, let's cut through it. At least two and maybe all three of those races are going to be nasty, vicious, old-style Pueblo political bloodbaths...."
