Wed Aug 23rd, 2017 6:00am
As of 6:00am on Thursday, Aug 24th- these three articles display a total of zero comments. Neither paper shows these articles on their Facebook news feed.
Whidbey News-Times has not posted on Twitter since
Later in the day- Aug 24th, 2017
South Whidbey Record asks in their Facebook news feed:
“What do you think about vigilantism and its popular new weapon, public shaming?”
No thanks on this contained choice.
I’ve had comments blocked/deleted/censored in the past by Whidbey papers.
My comments contained no hate speech, insults, threats, foul language, attacks on other commenters, etc.
Wonder how many other comments were deleted? Some details here.
Love to see local papers encourage more discussion on important topics.
Love to see more in the way of newspeople asking questions and doing investigative stories.
