Canberra Times - the newspaper doesnt want you to tell it about news

Anyway, thanks go CT axed the horrendous ‘Have Your Say’ letters. Toward it’s end it was hijacked by personal attacks between extreme righties and extreme lefties. The occasional worthwhile readable comment was swamped within countless pointless ravings. (RA excluded pls note). Maybe a CT alternative would be in order.

They actually have hardly any actual journalists, so unless you actually wrote your news into an article for them, they probably couldn’t do anything with it. Although they do keep a permanent raft of work experience people, who might get to have a go.
But I wouldn’t count on it. There is plenty of real local news around that they must know about – such as the dragway, but they don’t bother to write about. The Chronicle has become a better bet for ‘community issues’ and that is just sad.

why would then want you to send them actual news ? then they might have to report it.

Too late. I fear that the Canberra Times became irrelevant the day Rural Press bought it and pushed aside old Jack.

(It’s such a pity Sammy isn’t here, by the way. We could have a good argument about CT’s ethics and standards right now).
