Paper or electronic?
March 19, 2016The Times has been very good in their recent efforts to inform us of their new non-privacy policy, invasive as it is. From their notice:
2. We may use and share information that you provide, or that we collect and store, including emails and other personal information.
- Use: We may email or mail you communications, including promotional messages, using the contact information we collect while you are using the Services.
- Sharing: We may share information we collect and store while you are using the Services or other sites with affiliates, service providers, and third party advertising service providers for their own use, including advertising and sending promotional messages.
3. In connection with ad serving and ad targeting on our Services, we notify you that in some cases, device identifying information could be used to identify you personally.
Personally
Evidently the simple act of reading a portion of the Times via some electronic device will now allow them to provide our personal identification to others.
We deserve better

Daily reminder
March 17, 2016It is hard to ignore the fact that to this day the El Paso Times and the City of El Paso share a building.
The part of the building that used to be the administrative offices of the Times was sold by the newspaper to the city. Some of us think that the price the city paid was significantly higher than would have been paid in an arm’s length transaction.
The Times wanted to get out of their building so they sold part of it to the city. Moving the production facilities was evidently deemed to be too expensive.
So now we have a situation where city executives work with Times personnel in the same building on a daily basis.
If the opprobrium of the many current city scandals ever goes away we will still have to see our city government and what should be an independent newspaper residing in the same building sharing common financial goals.
We deserve better
