Jackson Jambalaya

I voted Twitter although I use the Blaq app that is a Twitter client. I go to all the news sites at least once during the day but Twitter is the one I'm always checking as it puts them all in one spot.

The sources for local news -- the specific focus of your poll -- have become so fragmented that it is very hard to make only one selection which is all your poll allows.

Therefore you are merely using Twitter as a collection application. So mixing sources and applications yields little insight.

Without realizing it, you stated exactly how the news industry is changing. No longer do you just pick up the paper or watch the evening news. If you were younger, you just went to WLBT's website several times a day on your phone. Now even that is changing. Many people get their news on FB. They "like" Three on your side's FB page, see linked stories their friends put on FB in their status updates, and so on.

The selections you are offering on your poll still mix apples and oranges. Hitting WLBT's website directly versus via their Facebook page -- whether or not a FB friend, for example, encouraged the transit -- is only a different means of travel or access.

And considering the composition of Jackson, at least, why do you relegate the Mississippi Link and Jackson Advocate to the category of other? They easily cover as much local news as the Northside Sun and arguably more than the JFP.

It might be a slightly different discussion if the poll software you are using allowed for multiple selections. But you are still mixing the means of acquiring the content with the actual producers of the content.

As for not realizing something, you don't know what you don't know.

There is an "Other weeklies" choice. I also didn't include Rankin Record, Rankin County News, Madison County Journal, Clinton Courier.

I've learned more about Jackson political skullduggery from an unhibited Enoch Sanders that ever revealed by Bill Minor and/or Jerry Mitchell...and Enoch's not afraid of the "N" word.

I wish KF would present cameo appearances on the State-of-the- State issues by Enoch Sanders through this forum.

I laugh with Enoch, not AT him.

After Google shut down Google/Reader started using Feedly. You do have to subscribe to feeds, but it does streamline news content.

The poll as well as Kingfish's unending tirades slamming the Clarion Ledger are both intended to get the poll taker to select Jackson Jambalaya.

I subscribe to several papers, including the CL and I collect that from my driveway every morning shortly after 5:00. But, I watch WAPT at that time as well.

I refuse to watch that nutcase dramatician on the WLBT morning news. If I'm home during the noon hour, Which is infrequent, I will always watch WLBT noon news. Also watch the WLBT 5 and 6 p.m. news fairly regularly.

JJ centers pretty much solely on stuff KF thinks he's got a scoop on or that he thinks will not get TV or Printed coverage....as if that's what everybody calls 'the news'.

PS: I used to listen to Supertalk news until they hired that woman who is unintelligible. I can't even understand her name when she says is. Sounds like Aris Bonns.

Why are WLBT and FOX40 together?

3:43 - WLBT and FOX40 are both owned and operated by the same company. You'll see the same anchors for both station news casts.

I stopped reading the CL many years ago and stopped watching the local TV news years ago too. I really get my local news here (JJ) and my national news from the Drudge Report.

COMCAST and Time-Warner Alliance the new CCA:We're in a lot of trouble

The poll as well as Kingfish's unending tirades slamming the Clarion Ledger are both intended to get the poll taker to select Jackson Jambalaya.

Bullshit greenhorn.

If I see something on Facebook, I either Google it if national, or go to JJ or WLBT if local. I still like WLBT, I keep hoping Frank Melton's ghost will appear. We are all better off just reading the WSJ every day.

I refuse to watch that nutcase dramatician on the WLBT morning news.

Thanks.....thought I was the only one.

Remind me exactly how JJ wouldn't be considered a blog.

Facebook and WLBT on-line morning newscast. I check the CL for obits each morning. I visit Jackson Jambalaya once or twice each day for the REAL breaking news.

I read the CL daily, look at Jackson Jambalaya daily, watch WLBT's 10 p.m. report, listen to Supertalk when no good songs are on the radio and read the Northside Sun each week. I'll even look at the JFP if one's lying around when I'm waiting for something. I used to enjoy Y'all Politics, but it's been pretty dead since the Scruggs scandal faded from the headlines.

Twitter for breaking news...like jury verdicts or expected announcements.

I started when Twitter was new...jfp was live reporting on Melton's trial...

Drudge for most though

My habits consists of an even mix of traditional news from the internet and TV, although I do spend more and more time on blogs like JJ. I can stomach JFP in small doses for the local alt coverage, mainly by avoiding reading the comments of Ladd or her band of whiners.

When will JJ cover the fact that there are 85 Department Heads without departments at the State Education Department?

This is crisis related information that is receiving coverage only today in the Clarion. A bill to remove this agency from the State Personnel Board so it can be whittled down is HUGE news in this state.

WJTV morning news is my favorite tv local. No local print news (would like one, but don't care for CL.) Main local website I follow is JJ.

National TV news is Fox and national news coverage is Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, Weasel Zippers, Legal Insurrection, Blaze, Twitchy is fun, always like seeing what’s on Allen West’s website, Drudge does good recap.

Haven't watched national ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc. in many years.

No facebook. Don't have twitter but do check some of the feeds.

needed Drudge/Breitbart/Blaze selection

After they forced Bert Case to retire, I have completely sworn off WLBT news. Same with a lot of folks I know. It's actually quite nice. Although I miss Howard.

WAPT evening/night...because I am in love with Stephanie Maxwell!!

Is the new Weiden woman doing the weather on LBT the daughter of Helicopter Mary Weiden who is the wife of Bert Case or am I spelling these names incorrectly?

Most blogs, including this one, are 50% or more tabloid journalism. Do you gumps really consider yourselves reading the news here when you're on your elbows squinting at articles about Larita's Antics, a Hooker in Oxford, parking problems at the new grocery store, king cakes and lost dogs?

We bow at your feet all-knowing all-seeing News Seeker.

Ms Litigation Review is also a good blog. Don't always agree with him, but he covers tons of legal issues.

4:25, don't know. Went to WLBT website but they don't have her listed as an employee yet. I think her first name is Julia.

4:31 PM=clarion ledger employee, looking down upon the unwashed...

"Most blogs, including this one, are 50% or more tabloid journalism."

Agreed. If you don't believe it, go down the list of current topics and do the math yourself.

I think the arrests of the beauty queen have dropped off as has Hohrn's bombshell coverage.

YAWN .... SSSsssssnnnoooorrreeeeee

There's the usual snorer, expressing his same opinion. Hello Kingfish.

Rumor on the street is Bert Case is going to work for another station soon.

Don't know which one though.

You might think that but I could not possibly comment.

Bert Case doing freelance new media video reporting here @ JJ would be killer!
