05-26-09, E-Mail from Greg Wilkinson to Hal Weber Regarding GNP Columnist Patrick Azadian’s Column

 

Hal, Your rejoinder to GNP columnist Patrick Azadian is right on target. Enough of the fluff and one man's opinion stuff. It's time for all of the GNP columnists, editors and writers to put some meat on the bone and get to the real issues affecting the people of Glendale and the surrounding communities. Maybe with new editor Dan Evans, the newspaper can begin to do a better job investigating and reporting the mess made by the officials, policies and practices of our city government. Where are the in-depth interviews with people of opposing viewpoints on the direction our city government is taking? The bland dishing out of pablum and lack of risk-taking or constructive criticism of the status quo has left our community with too few voices heard and too much time and ink wasted on trivia. Thanks Hal for once again pointing out the importance of perspective in news coverage. In fact, you'd be a great community leader for a GNP feature Q & A. Keep up the great work!
