It comes to this for the “can’t get its act together digitally OR dead-tree-wise” New Orleans Times-Picayune. Something – perhaps a prodigious drop in subscriptions? – has compelled the management of the T-P to make this move: After slashing its newspaper printing to three days a week in late 2012, the Times-Picayune is beefing up […]
Thought for the Day
“You may not agree with a woman, but to criticize her appearance — as opposed to her ideas or actions — isn’t doing anyone any favors, least of all you.

“Where the storyteller is loyal, eternally and unswervingly loyal to the story, there, in the end, silence will speak. Where the story has been betrayed, silence is but emptiness. But we, the faithful, when we have spoken our last word, will hear the voice of silence.” ~Isak Dinesen
Culture vs. enforcement: Could SB 140 change our City Administration’s priorities?
Apr 5
The passage of Senate Bill 140 will likely mean that our city’s officials will pursue more aggressive — and lucrative — fines for numerous violations. Heads up, everybody!

I cannot lie. I teared up Thursday evening during the “Good-bye” broadcast of Angela Hill’s last day on WWL TV. When I moved to New Orleans in 1978, Angela (and Garland Robinette) were THE faces of New Orleans for me. I was so excited to be beginning a new life in such an exciting and […]
