It was back in the 60's, it was called City News Briefs I think.
It was kind of like what the Vidette does, just recaps not the entire call.

sometimes either TDW or the Vidette will post 'out takes' of the GHSO calls, we get that log weekly-ish. It doesn't always have anything funny in it though so I think they hold off until they have a few things to publish. APD and HPD don't offer full call logs anymore as far as I know.

When I started at the Daily Hurl back in the day, we were allowed to go to the 911 center and read the morning logs to mine for interesting stuff.

Then a certain officer who shall remain nameless (but whose initials are the same as Hoquiam's Police Chief) decided to invent a reason to get the Hurlers kicked out of there.

Yeah, when I started here everyone just said "Ohh we don't allow that anymore...."

I've always wondered how much of my 'information-challenge' was from previous news guys here, or just good-ole-boy-style staffing. Hey speaking of escaping how's college going?

Well, there's a qualitative difference between "escaping" and "run out of town on a rail."

College ended in December. Then there was Census work. Now I am seriously considering jobs out of state, because there's just nothing happening for me here. So perhaps escaping is the right word after all.

Through my travels this summer one place stood out as having jobs with help wanted signs everywhere. That place was Texas. Perhaps a place near GW might have some work.

It was probably easier than setting up procedures to ensure compliance with the Public Records Act.

The radio station's news site is regularly updated with breaking news. That will be the downfall of the newspaper - the fact that they only update once a day (and not at all on Mondays)

Okay, so now the announcement that the online edition will be for pay...I have not been that impressed. any thoughts?

I like getting local news, but if I'm going to pay, would probably rather get the actual paper. there is not enough posted on the on line edition to be worth it, imo.

just wondering what others are feeling

The online version is incredibly amateurish.

I suspect they want to pull out of this market.
