I don't know why but I check the AC Outlook every day hoping to find some local news.  I am dissapointed daily.  Today the top story is about a new Ice Cream shop opening, somewhere in the Lake Martin area I presume, but wouldn't know from reading the article.  I scanned it the first time looking for location and didn't see it so I figured I missed it.  Went back for a second look and stil have NOT found a location for the new business.  Top of the fold story about a new business, but never tell the reader where that new business is located.  SMH.

Thats our local paper folks.

I agree with you.  The Outlook is bad about providing an address or even recounting news stories.

I just checked again and the article is still up without an address.  They can't say they didn't realize because I emailed the author early this morning.  

This is the body of the email:

Next time you write a puff piece about a new business, how about including the location of said business in the article so your readers know where to patronize said business.  I read the article about the new creamery.  I actually read it three times to make sure I didn't miss the most basic of info that should have been in the piece.  

How about updating the article to include and address and an apology to the owners and your readers for failing them.  You guys, alleged journalists, complain because the foks don't trust you.  This is just one of many reasons that is true.  If you can't get it right with a puff piece why would you be trusted to get it right with real news?
 
Maybe he didn't lie my "tone"...lol.  But it just shows they don't give a damn unless it is Russell Lands, then they kiss ass.

This is just speculation on my part but I think I might have figured out why they refuse to post the address.  I think they were "obligated" to do the feature story on the creamery, but my guess is they couldn't/wouldn't buy very expensive ads across all of the TPI outlets so therefor they spitefully don't print the address.

Just my opinion but I will be checking the new magazines as they hit the rack in the next few days so see if there is a Creamery ad in them.  My bet is not.
