Missing Something?

Journal Gazette, News Sentinel. Welcome back, we missed you.

For reasons still not explained by either, both Fort Wayne dailies were nowhere to be found online this morning. One reader telling the Maven that the outage began early this morning. 

All across the Summit City, confused individuals could be observed scratching, poking, massaging and even banging their iPads and tablets. Each person hoping to whack some sense into their devices and thus bring their favorite newspaper website into view. But, alas....in trendy Starbucks and those also-ran coffee establishments, Fort Wayne's over privileged social elite were left with only the Wall Street Journal and TMZ as reliable sources for the morning's news. 

Adding insult to injury, a few news rooms across the city were without their main source of copy-and-paste content. Interns and other low-level personnel were quickly pressed into service as station vehicles were fired up and took to the streets to search the city for a hard copy of the Journal Gazette. This fiasco the result of local media outlets cancelling their print newspaper subscriptions as a cost saving measure. Love those bean-counters

Then, suddenly, as if my magic, whatever ghost or goblin responsible for this electronic news blackout quickly left before lunch and the Journal Gazette and News Sentinel appeared on the interwebs, and the kids in the WOWO news room could breathe a little easier.....
