It has been rather silent around here mainly because I have been recuperating from spinal surgery on my neck which you can learn more about about on my blog Garysdish. Well I'm back and I'll be covering whatever is happening here in Milwaukee and elsewhere. Because I know about the cost of print publication, combined with the added expense of putting the same publication on the Internet I decided to devote my time and energies strictly to the Internet. I no longer have to type it out because it is much easier to put things in print thanks to a program called NaturallySpeaking by nuance, a program that transcribes speech into the printed word. This makes it much easier and faster to get news into print and onto the Internet. No more two finger typing, and no more Karpel tunnel to deal with. No more finicky printing presses to try to keep going when the deadline is quickly approaching. No more paper and no more printers ink to get on your hands and no more vicious paper cuts (That's a little inside Joke) if you know what I mean.
And yes I do believe that several publications can coexist together. Just as there is more than one television station in the area and most of them have happily coexisted for years without any problems. It is my personal opinion that it is not good to have only one viewpoint when it comes to the news. The truth be told there is always two different sides to every news story and I feel it is my obligation to provide a different viewpoint. Some might interpret this as competition, but I don't, I consider it good reporting. After all what one person sees may not be the same as what another sees and enabling our readers to see two different viewpoints is good. Anyway that's the way I see it and some may disagree and that's their choice, but that's what makes life interesting.
Sometimes there are news stories that one of us does not catch and I believe it is our obligation to get those stories out to you the public as quickly as possible. I see the Internet as the wave of the future because there are so many different ways to get the news out to people and that's what it's all about. So keep tuned because this isn't the only place you're going to find the news it is my plan to take advantage of all the other resources on the Internet to get the word out.
