Congratulations to the Livingston Press and Argus for its thriving website, as noted in Maria Stuart's piece for Sunday (Nov. 16, 2008).
The column notes:
"For the first two weeks of November, we're closing in on almost 600,000 hits, surely helped a bit by the election. Even so, we're regularly averaging well over a million hits a month.
"More than a million hits!
"Never, in a million years, did I dream that livingstondaily.com would be averaging more than a million hits a month."
Sadly, the news media as a whole has been slow to figure out the whole internet-thing, but it's good to see that locally the media is now trying to catch up.
Stuart goes on to note that the Press and Argus regularly posts videos of events, including the two candidate debates it sponsored this election year.
Unfortunately, that's not the whole story. For the last debate, the newspaper put up video of only some of the candidates in its Oct. 30 debate.
Video of Democrat Donna Anderson's debate with Bill Rogers in the 66th House District and of Democrat Bob Alexander's debate with Mike Rogers never made it to the site that I could find.
Maybe the newspaper wasn't too proud of the way its two endorsed candidates performed against their Democratic opponents.

Are you serious, Judy?
Are you this desperate for blog material now that the election is over?
