GoLocalWorcester.com - The Times They Are a-Changin'

The T&G twists the news. Worcester Magazine rehashes the news. And InCity Times just makes it up. Or steals it.

The locals deserve something new - a different perspective. And competition has arrived: GoLocalWorcester.com an online only news service; finally give the T&G and Worcester Magazine something to think about.

After decades of media-ocrity, a courageous soul as decided to test the local waters: the Providence, RI based - GoLocal24.com.

Yup, the last 3 years have been pretty tough for Worcester Magazine, thrashing about in search of a concept. Seems nothing worked. Maybe ole Gareth Charter didn't get it. Or maybe he did. Seems he decided to downplay the reporting and just concentrate on selling ads. More money in ads than serious news reporting. Worcestre Magazine has become a defacto full-fledged ad-mag. No wonder, they have more salespeople than reporters.
All-in-all, the T&G fares no better, resorting to pabulum ad nauseam. What did we do to deserve that? Um... you chose to live here.

Of course no post about Wusta media would be complete without a mention of the loco-local herself - Rosalie Tirella. So what’s new? Nothing of course – she's still manipulating circulation numbers in a futile attempt to stave off ICT's demise.

And I suppose it was only a matter of time. Yup, Wusta’s notorious blogslug found his way to GoLocal’s comments section. Q, aka Stephen “Think I'll Hang Around This Blog For A While” Quist , has staked out his territory along with blogging newbie Ed “Rocketman” Saucier, self described former Air Force ICBM key-holder and all-around punching bag on GoLocal. Um… if GoLocal had any smarts they’d scratch Q and put Ed outta his misery.

Finally a choice. Use it.
