…that the Redmond Spokesman (the newspaper in Redmond that’s owned by Bulletin-parent Western Communications) has to post news and commentary on a blogspot.com blog and their actual domain sits “under construction“? Are they just taking matters into their own hands because they don’t know how to change the content at redmondspokesman.com, are they waiting for WesCom to setup their online publishing software like the Bulletin uses, or are we just not even supposed to know about the site (I found it via a google search and have since added it to BendBlogs)?

Jake: It’s the mighty $ and control. For less than $100/year the good folks at the Spokesman should get onto a real service with a real URL and off blogspot. The community of Redmond will support an online and a print paper — look at the Source, The Nugget News and other smaller papers — They tell their stories in print and online.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I like the spokesman, just feel bad for them sometimes. Corporate control sucks.
