My rants about (and unsolicited advice for) the Richmond Times-Dispatch always have received monster site traffic to this blog…there’s a lot of people who want to read it apparently.
Richmond Magazine reporter Bill Farrar has just done an outstanding job in the August issue, explaining “the newly re-wired RTD.”
If you didn’t pick up a copy yet, read the entire article, entitled, “Rewiring the Times-Dispatch, As the Richmond Times-Dispatch races to bridge the gap between the newstand and the internet, how will affect the region’s news coverage?”

And Mr. Farrar must be a smart and handsome man , because he quoted me extensively in his article.
It begins “New media expert David Saunders…”
I like the sound of that.
Thanks Mr. Farrar.
