Columnist Shay Totten of Vermont weekly Seven Days noted the following in a recent "Pure Politics" column:
The Burlington Free Press has been renamed Burlington Free Press. The tweaked logo appeared in last Thursday’s paper with no accompanying explanation.
Gone, too, is the Freep’s front-page tagline, “A Local Custom, Serving Vermont for 184 Years.” The slogan has been outsourced, er, replaced, by the paper’s website address.

For those who miss the word "The," the bottom of the page still says content is copyrighted, "2010 The Burlington Free Press." The local custom continues. Phew.
ReplyDeleteHard to be still be a local custom when very little gets produced at 191 College anymore. It'll be fun to see the flavor of a New Jersey copy desk each and every morning.
ReplyDeleteFYI: A lot is still produced at 191 and the folks who work hard there every day don't need your snide remarks. As for design jobs moving to N.J., unless you work there and know the people affected by this -- if they are not your friends and co-workers -- shut it.
