As an outsider looking in, I've found the VR to be an interesting read, but I've seen it mentioned at the "Valley Distorter" in numerous posts on AZ, and now here. What's up with that, and are there any alternatives ?
The VR website has some nice tidbits to follow.
Anyways, I'm curious regarding this moniker. |
It is a moniker of affection. As with any small town paper, it has its inaccuracies, but overall is pretty good. It is generally the weekly of preference, as WDEV is the best local radio source as far as I am concerned. Not for music, but for news, current events, sports, varied, (really varied) programming. The owner is a gent in his 70s who is very progressive and the station has been in his family 75 years in 2006. Radio Free Vermont he calls his station. There is a local (Valley) radio station, but is pretty much contained in East Warren. |

Wow - talk about narrow-casting. |

Are you expecting the New York Times? It's a small community and the writers for the paper are paid next to nothing. |

The name Valley Distorter is more than affection. The paper has continuously printed innaccurate articles, without correcting blatant errors even when brought to their attention. They've done it to me. When I approached Lisa Loomis (editor) about just such a problem, she pushed me for a "scoop" regarding the real story, but refused to run a correction. It was a serious issue which should have at least been addressed by the paper with an apology and correction. Never happened.
Susan, I know it's your job to make things look good in/for the Valley, but please, enough sugar-coating.
