Another CNHI fail in Gainesville

On Tuesday, the Gainesville (Tex-ass) Register ran an op-ed column by Jim Zachary, editor of The Valdosta Daily Times and also CNHI's director of newsroom training.

End of the first column of the print version, we have:

How many children and their parents can't hardly wait until the honor rolls are published so they can cut the page out of the paper and paste it into a scrapbook?

True today?

No. School districts have websites and Facebook pages and parents can print them out or do screengrabs on their smartphones or whatever.

Sad but true.

But, that's not the big fail.

The big fail is that I don't think I've seen a Gainesville ISD honor roll in the Register in 3 and 1/2 years.

Bet Jim Zachary's Valdosta Times doesn't have them either.

Then there's this:

Speaking of advertisements, which stores have sales promotions? Where can you get the best deals? Check out the ads in the paper.

Erm, Jim, the Register runs the CNHI/RSA semi-house ads for golfing in Bama more than it does any single local ad.
