There were no Courier News papers at the newsstand this morning. At 7:00 AM, after waiting from 6:30 AM.
There were no Couriers in the streetside newspaper vending boxes either.
This is the fourth time since Gannett moved the Courier's printing away from its Bridgewater facility (where it has been printed and distributed for 35 years) to its printing plant in Middlesex County.
Problem is readers expect their paper in the morning. The other instances of failure of timely delivery were on weekdays -- when commuters either get the paper before going to work or skip it altogether.
So we had a little snow on the road. Do you suppose the Buffalo News didn't get delivered? Or the Minneapolis Star-Tribune?
With all we hear about how much trouble newspaper circulation is in, you would think publishers would bend over backwards to get the damn thing in peoples' hands.
Wouldn't you?

I guess it depends on who you are. It doesn't seem to bother the city that Public Works Director Maier has a private architecture practice that supposedly only occurs "after hours".
