The C-L is abdicating its position as the newspaper of record for the State.

DN, sadly, they walked away from that lofty ideal of leadership long, long ago. Lancelot has run off with Guinevere and the happy ever-afterings of those days are no more.

We, Mississippi’s citizenry, are on our own. The blogs are the new round table of the people. Welcome, knight of the realm.

Just by way of comparison, The Clarion-Ledger’s website leads with these stories: an article regarding the Jackson State president and eminent domain, an article about E85, an article about the b’ball game in Oxford and an article about superintendent salaries. Oh, and one titled “Rain causes a hazardous morning commute”.

A story arguably shorter than this post lumps the days events together and is buried toward the bottom.

Methinks The C-L is abdicating its position as the newspaper of record for the State. You’d think testimony about a former US Senator trying to help bribe a HINDS COUNTY judge while in office would elicit more interest, unless other factors affected your editorial decisions.
