Digital Black Hole

If your looking for digital advertising at the Louisville Courier-Journal, then you only have one option.  Go with the new girl on the team.  Mrs. Planet X, who has the informative skills and knowledge of a well practiced Digital Sales and Marketing Consultant, is without a doubt, the only employee of the Louisville Courier-Journal that knows what she is doing on the digital end.  Should you end up talking to one of the quasi-print-digital members of the newspaper, you will undoubtedly find yourself being asked if you want to do more print advertising, in a digital world.  No thanks, I 'll take the new girl.

Theft at the Louisville Courier-Journal

Has anyone ever driven down Main street and found that they area is on the cusp of poverty?  Well, from what I have been told, the theivery and nastiness is not just found on the streets of Louisville, but in the Louisville Courier-Journal. 
  My mother gave my wife a Macy's gift card for a christmas present.  Low and behold, not two days into the return to work week from the vacation, but, someone in the newspaper business felt it necessary to take the card, from my wife's desk for themselves.  You would think that a Fortune company like the Lousiville Courier-Journal could invest in some sort of security system for their employees safety, but alas, that is not the case. 

Kentucky Local News

Howdy,

  I am writing this blog to highlight the inadequacies of the local news stations that complement the Louisville area.
