The C-J story says: "When Deon White heard gas prices were approaching $4 yesterday, he spent his lunch hour looking for a bargain. 'I cannot fathom having to pay $4 a gallon for gas,' he said after settling for $3.78." The story includes an embedded link to a database, where readers post prices, and see stations on a map. Nice!
The Enquirer story says: "Gasoline prices lurched to $3.95 a gallon for regular Tuesday at stations all over [the] Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky area, shooting up almost 5% within hours." Following its embedded link, I arrived at the paper's Data Center, where all I could find was something labeled "Lowest Gas Prices in Cincinnati." It appears to be a paid advertisement from an outfit called GasBuddies.

...and your lame ass president, Bush XXIII, said lower prices would come with more exploration and more refining capacity.

Welcome to Good News 2008.
I hope Louisville and Cincinnati each ran a sidebar - or graphic, or both - showing what local businesses pay employees per mile for business travel, and included the reimbursement amount provided by the Courier-Journal and Enquirer.
ReplyDeleteI’m impressed that Cincinnati had a graphic on the front, I thought graphic departments were in the process of being phased out, then again it is just a bar chart, I'm sure a page layout person could produce that.
