Worst thing that ever happened to Sun (and the PD) was getting bought by Advance Publications.

December 2, 201410 yr Here’s Why We Don’t Know Much about Tamir Rice December 2, 2014 by aoscruggs Coverage of Tamir Rice Shooting Exposes Rift Between Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com It’s been more than a week since police fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice, but the public knows almost nothing about his friends, his hobbies, his personality – nothing about him. And, until last night, we didn’t know anything about the police officer who killed him either. If ever a profile of Tamir ever gets published will largely be determined by the relationship between Cleveland’s newspaper, The Plain Dealer, and the digital company, the Northeast Ohio Media Group. Despite sharing the cleveland.com platform, the print and digital companies are separate entities. Both, however, are owned by Advance Newspapers. http://alldigitocracy.org/tamir-rice-shooting-exposes-rift-between-plain-dealer-and-cleveland-dot-com/
December 2, 201410 yr Very interesting article. From this untrained eye it makes lots of sense given what you see on Cleveland.com (a headline and no facts in the article).
December 2, 201410 yr you can tell too. I feel like I never recognize the author when i read a .com story. I have been avoiding the site for the most part (generally only reading litt and Michelle), but im really considering cutting them off completely and hoping that the paper/site implodes.
December 2, 201410 yr I appreciated this line: The [PD] employees fear that cleveland.com is using, and destroying, what used to be a strong, respected Plain Dealer brand. Perhaps naively, I'm amazed how quickly Cleveland.com has transformed itself into formulaic clickbait trash. They seem to reach new lows every couple months.
December 2, 201410 yr Yep. They are embracing the Buzzfeed mentality. Things like the article about Tamir's dad get the attention, but there are tons of other examples. For example, little things like taking Terry Pluto's regular Sunday column and splitting it into 3 separate articles, make their motives so transparent. Sacrifice journalistic integrity and the reader experience for a minimal gain in the short term. Problem is they don't seem to realize the long-term implications behind these moves.

December 5, 201410 yr WTAM 1100 keeps reporting that Eric Garner died after being "restrained." I just thought that was interesting which media outlets are using which terminology, ie "restrained" vs "chokehold."

April 17, 201510 yr Well, the "journalists" at cleveland.com are at their finest today. Not only was there a front page NONSTORY about a girl who didn't get an offer from a biotech job (which is hardly newsworthy) but now there is a SECOND front page article, and a scheduled forum no less to discuss this situation. Dress professionally for an Interview or don't show up, even if everyone there is wearing t-shirts and jeans, and do not whine about it on the Internet if you want a good job someday - there, controversy settled. http://www.cleveland.com/tipoff/index.ssf/2015/04/sexism_or_millennial_petulance.html#comments Inventing a scandal is all this shitrag has going for it, and it's about as newsworthy as LEBRON BABY MOMMA SHARON REED

It ties into the stereotype that this particular age group has an entitled mentality. Being from Oberlin doesn't help since the road blocking incidents have given them a negative reputation. Unfortunately for her she has pretty much trashed her job prospects in the near term over this.
April 17, 201510 yr ^well, she is from New Jersey :| I think she was using this woman as a role model-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaZzPwxVnXc http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
April 17, 201510 yr I wouldn't go so far as to say she has trashed her job prospects. In fact, she might get an offer out of (perhaps misplaced) sympathy. We live in a funny world. Just take the example of the Indiana Pizzeria which came out in favor of the 'right to discriminate bill' and was interviewed on Fox. The 'go fund me' site set up for those folks raised close to a million dollars....... I assume to make up for all the lost business it would have got catering weddings with Pizza but for its interview on Fox......

May 13, 201510 yr ^ The story is about him being charged in the county court of common pleas, which is located in the Justice Center. Perhaps not the best choice of picture, but I think it's unfair to say it has "zero" to do with the story.

May 13, 201510 yr Does anyone have any insight over what happened with Macie Jepson and Channel 5? I started watching Good Morning Cleveland a few years ago, and I cannot believe how many changes they make to that show. I loved Macie! I hope she is picked up by another station here in Cleveland. I also noticed Trent McGill is gone from there too, and they have a new weather girl from Alaska or something - Janessa, I think.

But this article makes cleveland.com, and frankly Cleveland, look bad, lame and frankly pathetic. It should not have been published. I totally disagree that this makes Cleveland look lame and pathetic as you state: how? Because he references Cleveland skeletons that that we're not supposed to utter, like Cleveland's "butt of jokes" status (sadly, we still are at least in some misguided quarters) and the Kucinich recall (he was, but he grew as a politician and as a man to become an internationally admired peace activist and humanitarian not afraid to criticize those in his own Democratic party, including the President). A sign of growth and maturity is the ability to sometimes laugh at oneself. Cleveland has many problems but is improving by the day and is being nationally recognized as such. I'd like to think we're past the days where, collectively as a city, we would freak out at the least little negative comment or put-down by a non-Clevelander. I actually thought this piece was quite witty... It's called "satire" dude. And it was more a shot at Republicans than at Cleveland ... and I'm more than cool with that.
