Welcome back to Omaha, General Jim. It's about time your old coworkers over at the radio ranch get some real competition.

The Reader's Media Notes column, since its inception in the newspaper five years ago, has always welcomed industry-related local news.
Other than the Omaha City Weekly newspaper, I am not aware of any other publications that share news about the local broadcasting and print media on a consistent, weekly basis.
I would like to see press releases identified as such, otherwise it looks like you are trying to pass it off as an original blog posting.
I don't know of any news publication that identifies a press release as such.
The Reader's Media Notes has never printed a press release verbatim. They are always rewritten - and, when possible, supplemented with original material.
