    Yes, but not articles in our home town newspaper.

    Yes. And it typically covers everything from what is the correct name for an institution to the (non)use of the Oxford comma.

    Speaking of non use and sentence structure.

    I just became aware that periods are considered non essential on Bullet Point sentences. Source Oxford dictionary.

    He is the LSU beat writer for Gannett in Louisiana. Probably a habit to not use UL or Louisiana.

    If we can't get him to do it, no one will. Pretty sad, actually.

    This content was intended for Saints fans with a UL mention.

    If the article was UL centric I would be asking questions.

    Guilbeau is employed by Gannett. Not the Advertiser. He follows the Gannett policy.

    The other sportswriters, specifically Buckley and Foote, are employed by the Advertiser, owned by Gannett. They follow the Advertiser policy.

    Makes sense as to how things are presented.
