Image via WikipediaHackensack readers may not know what their elected officials are doing -- due to lack of coverage in The Record of Woodland Park -- but the weather in River City is front-page news today for the third time this winter.
On Page 1, a woman in the parking lot of ShopRite in Hackensack tries to shield herself from the rain, illustrating a what-if story about potential flooding that takes up most of the page. Joining it are a business-as-usual congressional piece and a gee-whiz story about a drug buyer who stole an ambulance in Newark.
What an awesome front page. The lazy, incompetent editors have outdone themselves. Hey, read that A-2 correction a few times and try to figure out what it says.
On the front of Local, the photo of a non-fatal traffic accident tells you it was a slow news day Friday or the staff started their weekend early.
A day after an L-3 story on settlement of the East Hill Synagogue dispute in Englewood, details are reported on L-1 today -- again omitting mention of Malcom A. "Mac" Borg's role in opposing expansion of the congregation down the block from his Walnut Street mansion. Mac, of course, is chairman of North Jersey Media Group, which publishes The Record.
The headlines on the two synagogue stories are nearly identical, and that had me doing a double take. It's obvious, the news copy editor and supervisor on today's story didn't read Friday's paper.
There are so many Passaic County stories in Local, long-suffering Bergen County readers may feel cheated for yet another day.
