    Vermonters and others need only compare their experiences with True North, Seven Days and VT Digger to see where the ubiquitous digital press pitfalls are. The problem is just as much in what isn’t reported as with what is reported. As has been commented on TNR recently, in certain publications, alternative points of view are politically censored.

    I agree with Guy Page. In the final analysis a discerning and well educated consumer will prevail – as long as alternative points of view are covered in a free marketplace.

    • Thanks, Jay. Really it’s always been about the customer. Whatever your platform, you have to work hard to get and keep their attention and loyalty and (along with it) their dollar.
