[Seattle-editorial] Solutions to newswire spam (reply to Judy)

[anarch3m]

I see nothing wrong with editors picking.  How else can we "educate" the readers, and more important, to me, is how can we educate our own writers.

Well, I want a piece of real estate just for "our writers", our presspass holders.  On Page one,  with good writing from the open wire.  With the open wire where global put it.  On page 2.

The front page "says it all" to the new arrival.  It must be palatable, safe space, not tepid.  Keep the distinction please.

Just because we have open publishing, why do we need to forever keep it so prominently displayed?  Why does each "contributor" have the RIGHT to top of the front page? (ok, its not center top, its side top....minor point I think.)
