Super control freaky.<BR/><BR/>I'm reminded of the time a year or so back, maybe a few months more, when former Millsaps PoliSci Prof Chris Lawrence presented a paper at some professional gathering exploring cross-over voting in Jackson's 2005 mayoral elections.<BR/><BR/>Lawrence briefly mentioned in the paper the heavy water carrying Ladd did in the JFP on behalf of Junior's badly listing ship which eventually sunk. <BR/><BR/><I>(And let's be clear, it is no secret here in Jackson that she was in tight cahoots with the Johnson campaign the entire election. Johnson campaign staffers have even admitted it so.)</I><BR/><BR/>Anyways, Ladd proceeds to go super freaky out about the reference then harangued Lawrence on email demanding that he issue a correction and send it out to everyone who had read his paper. Lawrence told her to take a hike.<BR/><BR/>True kvetch story.

You can find evidence of this if you search the old JFP archives.<BR/><BR/>I still have a great deal of respect for Ladd. I didn't like the way she treated some mutual friends, so I backed away. That's basically what it boils down to. I don't generally talk about it but every now and then I air it out in public, usually on this blog, and that's probably not a very wise thing to do. <BR/><BR/>The main point of my participation in this thread was to say that the JFP is not a daily paper and shouldn't be expected to do a daily paper's job.

I consider that part of the "very angry" business, since she didn't express any interest in getting rid of me until I switched from the JackBlog to a personal blog (which she tried to talk me out of doing). She certainly didn't seem to mind getting hits off the blog entries I posted, or asking me to volunteer here and there. <BR/><BR/>In any case, this thread isn't about me. All I'm driving at is that she's running a small weekly paper, not a large daily paper, and subsequently I don't think it's fair to expect the sort of comprehensive coverage from her that we'd expect from a large daily paper. She's better than the Weekend section, and that's her competition. I personally wouldn't mind seeing a daily paper edited by Donna Ladd--as I said, I think she'd be good at it. I wouldn't want to work for her myself, but I'm sure I'd subscribe.<BR/><BR/>As far as the blogging community is concerned: Yeah, she obviously doesn't like it when people go off and do their own thing, but if they're good enough, that won't matter. Personally, I don't invest enough time or effort in my personal blog to <I>deserve</I> a whole lot of hits. I'm pretty tightly booked as a writer, so "Head Reactivated" strictly a hobby. I haven't even bothered to stick ads on the thing. If I ever do start up a serious blog on Jackson, I'll be sure to let you know so you'll be able to avoid it, but I don't see that happening any time soon unless some national blogging network makes me an offer I can't refuse.Tom Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08391688821652172152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-83290379055331950292007-11-27T18:47:00.001-06:002007-11-27T18:47:00.001-06:00fire away.fire away.Kingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184990110961727404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-3605624405013960622007-11-27T18:47:00.000-06:002007-11-27T18:47:00.000-06:00Trust me.

The people who comment here on the Bell stuff are ALOT better informed than over there. I like Piker fine but if he had read some of my posts on this subject he wouldn't have sounded ignorant or wrong today because he didn't know what he was talking about. The police didn't avoid arresting Bell for the June beating. He wasn't in town long enough for them to arrest him. <BR/><BR/>and the JFP along with rest of media is ignoring the fact that the charges from June were probably still active.Kingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184990110961727404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-55497380944725521622007-11-27T17:00:00.001-06:002007-11-27T17:00:00.001-06:00I can't disagree about Donna ostensibly wanting a ...I can't disagree about Donna ostensibly wanting a monopoly on local bloggers; remember that my own experiences with Donna started going south after I moved my blog offsite. That made her very angry, presumably because she felt that she had some claim of ownership over me. This seems to be a common problem for folks who leave the JFP community to strike out on their own.<BR/><BR/>But I don't hold anything against her for not continuing wall-to-wall coverage of the Bell stuff, because she's just one person and it's just one little weekly paper. If we compare it to, say, the Weekend section of the C-L--which is the closest approximation I can come up with to a local competitor--then the JFP is obviously the best game in town. If we compare it to the C-L daily in terms of expecting comprehensive coverage, then the JFP falls well short, as well it should--it has a fraction of the staff, it comes out only 1/7th as often, and a JFP is much smaller than even one daily C-L. I think Donna would be able to do some great things with a daily paper, but she's not running one right now.Tom Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08391688821652172152noreply@blogger.com
