Are reporters scaring us into a recession?
by Brian Mann on January 13th, 2009
That’s the question Glens Falls Post-Star editor Ken Tingley asks today.
The Post-Star led their coverage this morning with news of more big lay-offs in the region:
A company called Quad/Graphics, in Saratoga County, is laying off 33 employees.
One of our reporters said he had been hearing from readers that the number of doom and gloom stories about the economy and their prominent play was scaring consumers. It is a good point and one I had wondered about too.
The Plattsburgh Press-Republican also led this morning with sour economic news (Noble Environmental Power will delay completion of a wind tower project in Chateaugay), as did NCPR (Bion has shelved plans for a huge cattle operation).
