Publishers' columns that veer toward hyperbole

Under the headline, "Don't believe what you hear about demise of newspapers,'' Publisher Roy Heatherly of The Jackson Sun in Tennessee wrote yesterday: "More importantly, our commitment to the First Amendment and the watchdog role we play in this community is stronger than ever."

  1. When I called up the Jackson Sun's Web site, the top three news stories were:
    The Miss America Pageant
    Slumdog Millionaire wins SAG award.
    Today's Horoscopes.
    I guess in some quarters, your daily horoscope could be called news.
