Something we do every single day here.
It almost seems as if Steve and/or the Oklahoman does not view Pete, OKC TALK, and the Gazette as real media or journalists. Yet Pete and his team often are the main journalists in the city that provide information beyond a 2 sentence quote or presupposition that we often find in the Oklahoman. I used to ask often why the Oklahoman would write such short stories all the time publishing them as articles, when there would be no info (such as an address, or a website, or more background/details) on a particular subject other than someone's opinion that WE NEED TO ACCEPT SINCE IT WAS IN THE PAPER. Or they 'might' mention events happening in town on the day of, no advanced notice.
Now, you can't make any suggestions and they have their paywall - so much for constructive criticism ....
We on here all know Pete had been screwed by Steve and the Oklahoman, because Pete dives in and reports whereas Steve (probably Oklahoman's best and best known reporter - bless his heart) publishes only the surface and far to often in my opinion writes about how far OKC has come since the 1990s in EVERY STORY!! Get over it, its 2019 now can we just get some articles without going back to the dark days?
I wish they'd write articles with facts and back up editorials with facts, and stop writing every article like its a term paper or novel. Who, what, when, where, why, and how is the best journalistic approach in my opinion, with relevant background to tie everything which is exactly what we get with Pete/OKCT/Gazette, and not always the bombing, boomer everything (tramel), or Maps this and that - just very small time, small town.
maybe one day soon Pete's Oklahoma Gazette can be OKC's major metro newspaper since the Oklahoman has given up and seems to be more 'alternative' to the conservative?
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
