Forget Something, J-G?

It's no secret that the mainstream, traditional media view the "new media" with fear and disdain. While established media, like the Journal Gazette, appear to embrace the internet and social media, the fact of the matter is that most view it as a pain in the ass and a threat to their established presence in the hearts and minds of their audience. 

A glaring example. "The photo comes from an in-store surveillance camera...". Uh, what picture??



Of course, you can bet the rent money that the photo appeared in the print edition. One can only conclude that the JG, like so many other 'established media' really couldn't give a damn about their online audience. 

For 'Philip', who accused the Maven of cropping the screen, here's the full screen and the web address:
