[edit] Proposed merge
Please, by all means, somebody merge this ... I stubbed this page a month ago, never suspecting that all the content it needed was simply on the wrong page, Southern Oregon news media. Wiki Wistah 21:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for doing the merge. Now for cleanup. This looks like it was someone's school paper--it has way too much detail for an encyclopedia article. If no one objects, I'm going to pare it down considerably in the next few days. For example, do we really need to know what software the newsroom uses? Most newsrooms use AP style, is this particularly notable? This is more an essay on "what a newspaper is" than an article about the Mail Tribune. It would be nice to see some history of the paper added, along the lines of The Oregonian article. Katr67 00:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that there's still a lot of "what is a newspaper" material here. As you can see (compare with history logs for the old article), I did pare this version down a bit from the original. Go ahead and be bold about editing further, though. As for adding in history -- I'm not really in a position to do that, not being from Oregon. Hopefully someone with deeper access to local libraries or newspaper archives can help. W i k i W i s t a h t / c 05:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing the work on paring it down some. I did see it was shorter but I didn't compare the two versions. There's probably a bit of history on the paper's website, I'll see what I can find and hopefully one of the original authors or an interested person from Medford can find out more.
