At least for a day. In the Monday paper, the strip was back in with an explanation printed on the editorial page that basically said the newspaper's management overreacted. The episode left me with a stronger distaste for corporate journalism than I've felt in a long time. Talk about knee-jerk reaction. Here's the rub.
Readers find plenty of reasons to question the motives, integrity and resolve of newspapers.
Actions like these hurt all of us in the print media. We are all now seen as more wishy washy, more reactionary. I'd like to here what readers in the region thought about the episode.
