He really sees taking from the community as a "responsibility" of newspapers?
Someone edit this clod!
Excellent idea having The Times Leader more involved in the community by showing its more about covering news, but helping out various charities.
Lets see the Emerald Castle pony up.
I thought that by buyhing that rag I was ALREADY giving to charity.
I thought the TL already did enough charity with some of those front page advertisements it produces. ... But all jokes aside, it's a cool idea. Never hurts to give back a little.
The Times-Shamrock folks? Let's see: how many hundreds of thousands raised in the wake of 9/ll? How much for Katrina relief?
Good works are good works, and all are to be encouraged--but let's not hint that the TT, CV and the rest haven't stepped up to the plate many times.
If by "stepped up to the plate" you mean participated in a fundraiser that was big on warm and fuzzy and tiny on outlay, yep, TS has stepped up to the plate numerous times.
I think a better measurement of stepping up to the plate would be outright donations (without including the social obligations that allegiance to all things Irish require or those donations made without having their hand forced so as to not be outdone by the local junkyard billionaire) realized without them using staff to create the illusion.
I stand corrected. I guess I'll subscribe to the T-L NOT because its newsprint doesn't wipe off on my hands, but to make up for the fact my motorcycle is in the shop and I can't go on any charity rides this summer.
Can I get a toaster instead?
Gotta wonder if Connor and the TL will try to "welch" out of this charity pledge.
