Jackson Jambalaya

JJ or a subscription consortium/coop of JJ's is the future.

You've proven a worth more than that.

You've gone further in Mississippi than any online journalist. Ever.

The Advocate in Red Stick is killing them! Need to report on more than the garden district social calendar.

I am surprised at how well The Advocate is doing.

Sad to see newspapers failing but not surprising. Their liberal agenda alienates their largest market, educated republicans. Piss off 70% of the potential readership and you get what you deserve.

I believe 8:34 has a valid point. I read the front section of the Clarion Ledger, toss the USA today, and read whatever else they give me with the comics and puzzles. Seriously will not read USA today and its warped view. Thanks JJ for keeping us up to date with real news.

Master blowhard, suckup pandering at 6:24. Mr. Jambalaya has, more than a few times, shown himself to be incapable of sharing the credit, taking a back seat or allowing others to excel. While often scooping the normal news persons, Mr. Jam is deeply mired in the repetitive criticism of all others, whether posters here or other blog runners or 'publishers'. Growing, as is suggested above, would require employing others and letting them do their jobs without the extreme control and manipulation Mr. Jam would exercise. Could not be done without a long period of counseling.

I laugh every time someone talks about the "liberal agenda" of the Clarion Ledger or other major news outlets. It would appear that many think if the paper doesn't say what the want to hear, or what the believe to be correct, it is obviously a "liberal agenda." I bet they really loved the Clarion Ledger when it was owned by the Headerman's and was to the reich of the citizens council. Faux News has made a fortune catering to this demographic, telling them what they want to hear, and saying they are fair and balanced.

Female, under 34, wearing sandals and no makeup @ 9:14. I forgot to mention vegetarian plotting the next protest at restaurant selling beef. Or could be male over 45 with same characteristics and M.O.

9:14 - Learn to spell the name of the prior owner and understand that the CL is not a 'major news outlet'. What are you smoking over there at Saltines?

As someone who literally learned to read by reading newspapers (like the Times-Picayune and the Jackson Daily News) as a child, I now find myself obtaining most of my "news" via blogs such as JJ and through the social media pages I've "liked" that are part of my Facebook news feed. I do subscribe to a couple of weekly newspapers that give me "local news" as well as social/features coverage, which is what a local weekly newspaper is good at doing.

I gave up on the Gannett products a long time ago. The newspaper chute that was built into our brick mailbox is now home to a dirt dauber nest.

The Fourth Estate no longer exists.
Journalism is no longer a profession, it's entertainment or a business or propaganda and finding anything remotely objective and fact based is a challenge.
Our citizenry has little interest in being informed but rather in having their preconceived notions reinforced.
And, frequent comments here indicate that perhaps that our attention spans are now that of gold fish may be value research.
Since a democratic republic depends on an informed citizenry, this doesn't bode well for our future.
