Daily Advertiser is Actively Boycotting Louisiana

[SlickRick]

I subscribed to the Advertiser from 1995 to 2019. When I called to cancel they kept trying to offer me a cheaper package to keep them in some form. Finally I cut the person off and said you don’t understand I am not giving you people another freaking dime of my money.

My cancelation was 2 fold their extreme left wing political coverage along with their lack of Cajuns coverage.

No one should ever confuse the Advertiser today with a LOCAL paper.

Preach brother!

Does Cory even have credentials and attend the games and press conferences? Seems like a massive waste of time to show up and not write a sentence about it.

Top headline of the online version is talking about a team a hour away with 10 straight losses rather than the team in your backyard with 10 straight wins. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

I hate that this bothers me this much, but it does. These players, these teams, this university deserve better. They deserve to be seen in the damn local paper.

At this point you would have to assume there is some agenda against the University or just complete incompetence and the paper should just be shut down.

Either way our school and community deserves better.

The Advocate is all we have at this point.

MBB are first in conference and WBB are two overtime games out of first in conference and all some here are worried about is the local newspaper and firing our basketball coaches . . . And they wonder when we can’t have anything nice here . . . well there you go . . .

Yes. All this success and no coverage. Crazy. I know.

Thanks for reminding us! I checked the local paper and assumed our basketball programs were disbanded.

. . . I usually quit giving clicks to things which are not to my liking . . . but no . . .

Is the Advertiser still the newspaper of record?

If so, there seems to be dereliction of duty.

I think it’s the advocate now.

The advocate is the official newspaper for Ragin' Cajuns athletics.

The problem isn't the Advertiser. And, it certainly isn't Cory Diaz.

It's corporate media. In this case, Gannett.

Gannett cares about clicks on social media directing people to their on line edition. They don't care where they come from as long as the number is large.

Gannett tells Cory what to cover. I think he personally would love to give more coverage to the Cajuns, but the other guys (and Mulkey) get more clicks.

(Personally I think Cory is an excellent writer. This isn't his fault.)
