PlainsPolitics discusses the new Argus layout:
New Argus Layout
In another attempt to further confuse the older demographic of the Argus Leader reader base, they have changed their format once again.
First, they took out the stock quotes, something the older generation has depended on for quite some time, and they don't always have easy access to the internet.
Now they have done a complete overhaul, adding a "local touch" to their paper. More local news, more local sports, and a new emphasis on opinion, named "Voices," so named for the whispers in Dave Kranz's head.
UNFORTUNATELY, we still have to put up with his column 3 days a week. This time it is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; instead of Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. I think the voices in his head will do better under this easy-to-follow schedule.
It is high time the Argus devote more to local sports and local news. This may just be another way to introduce their new more-Liberal approach: "More Herseth, less Thune."
"VOICES" will be a new platform for Kranz and Beck to infiltrate the media with more of their political hackery. I don't think Beck has found out how old Kranz's rolodex is, it is written on old egyptian manuscript with an ink and feather pen.
I guess we'll see how the public views this new format.
