First, let me say “Thank You!” to all of our readers of The Press and Tower, as we celebrated our biggest week in terms of traffic last week, with April our biggest month since our launch. I appreciate your participation and support of the blog.

We’ve been talking a bunch about many topics and sometimes viewpoints tend to be heated, so I want to reinforce the civility value we hold dear here at P&T. Each commenter deserves to be heard, so whether you agree with a point of view or not, it’s important that you keep the discourse respectful and with good cheer. Ad hominem attacks have no place here.

So in that spirit, embrace the chaos!

We celebrate randomness each week on Deep Background; eggnog optional. Tell us your scoops, ask the hard questions, be silly or sarcastic…just as long as you are appropriate and civil.

If you have a item you’d rather handle privately, please send me an e-mail at joel@nataliemedia.com.

Embrace the chaos!

It’s the turkey week edition of Deep Background, our wide-ranging, sometimes snarky, often entertaining discussion of the Erie and national media landscape. Feel free to sing praises, complain, or float a trial balloon, all in a spirit of civility and good cheer. It is the holidays, don’t you know!

If you have something that is really off-the-record and would rather float my way, my email is joel@nataliemedia.com.

Embrace the chaos!
