In the Tucson Citi … I mean tucsoncitizen.com, Mark Evans tried to set the record straight on exactly what’s going on at the publication that used to be in a printed format, but is now on a computer-only format, but without all that news stuff … Oh boy.
The lawyers claimed at the hearing on Monday the site is “robust.” Maybe they were referring to its potential, just like Evans. This tidbit from him, also used the word robust, was robust with comments that were at times cheerful and optimistic, and others were in this nature: You’ve got to be kidding.
In another article, Evans says that by June 1 the Web site, which he admits currently resembles the online presence of a daily newspaper (that no longer exists), will make good on a robust promise to be the voice of Tucson and may eventually include a sports writer.
Well, yeah, I guess you can’t be the voice of Tucson without sports. Right?

Mari Herreras– as Tucson Weekly Top Commenter Red Star pointed out at the New Citizen, the effort may be a Gannett experiment. Or perhaps not. In any case it wouldn’t surprise Top Commenter Red Star to learn in a few years of a case study at Harvard Business School or worse, Columbia School of Journalism.
Red Star – Right now sweetheart we are all a case study. I’ll talk to you in 20 years.
Ouch! That vid hit so close to home it left a bruise! (Amazingly, yes, there was one unbruised spot left after my ouster.)
