• Yesterday, Wednesday, March 3rd there was a fire in the Hanover Street parking garage. Expected a full lead story of the damage, cause and future impact…nothing.
• SeaCoast Online repeats stories and editorials for days on end. In some cases they will run the same story for almost a week. For me, it is incredibly hard to clearly identify the new stories.
• If you want to report a story, it is virtually impossible to reach anyone. SeaCoast Online does not provide a telephone number or e-mail address that I can find. Maybe the print edition I don’t get provides this information.
• If you need help, the e-mail address is a black hole. Calling the provided helpline gets you a person in Afghanistan, Pakistan ro India where the King’s English is their second language. They are totally useless.
• Actually went to their facility at Pease which is only a printing facility. They laughed when I asked for a office telephone number, volunteered no would answer.
Newspapers are key to a democracy and are threatened by numerous internal and external factors. Wish I knew how to help…
