It's been a good two weeks since I've made a post. I've finally dug out from under the pile of work on my desk, and my table, and on the floor, and in my in-box, and can turn my attention back to keep you informed about your Macon County Times. Let's talk about May. We published four issues in... | 13 |

When I last blogged, I talked a little about items available for your reading enjoyment on the site and in print. One thing I mentioned was "online magazines." These are great products offered for free to you, the reader. They are filled with relevant and useful information and are entertainin... | 14 | 
Alternative Reading Options by thepublisherMay 19, 2010 | 0 | 18 |
With a paid circulation of over 5,000 and many thousands more reading the web site, I think most folks are aware of the Macon County Times' regular local news coverage. There's plenty to read in terms of local news, but there is even more than that to read on a more generalized basis. Each wee... | 18 |

The Macon County Times has long been your business partner and the most effective means to reaching the largest Macon County audience. You may remember our free business directories , which I wrote about a few weeks ago. We have another program - or a repeat of last year's program - we are ... | 16 |

Sunday is Mother's Day. I hope that you'll remember your mom and all the other moms out there. Now, I'll say this. I actually write a little poetry from time to time (though not much lately), and nobody has ever read it - and that fact will never change. However, English poet Christina Rosse... | 16 |

Like everyone else, news folks enjoy a weekend off. However, for some, the weather stepped in this weekend. I want to compliment our news crew for the information they've been posting online - much of it from a distance as several of us took off out of town for what we thought would be a quiet... | 16 | 
It's like Burger King! by thepublisherApr 26, 2010 | 2 | 13 |
This morning I was reading about the circulation among the 25 largest newspapers in the nation. Only the Wall Street Journal posted an increase, and fortunately these numbers apply only to print circulation numbers. I'm relieve we are not following the trends (print circulation is up a bit, an... | 13 | 
Funny, interesting and weird by thepublisherApr 22, 2010 | 0 | 16 |
This week I was writing an article about headlines for a web site. And then I remembered that paper. The New York Post . Love 'em or hate 'em, one thing about them is their headlines will get your attention. Published in a tabloid format, the Post has a "news headline" on one side and a... | 16 |
