Enough’s enough: Please, be positive
About 30 years ago, there was a page one story in The Wall Street Journal with a headline referencing Warren as a necropolis. That was the era when the steel industry came on very hard times, as we know. Mills were closing; thousands of steelworkers were laid off. Grocery stores, public tax supported agencies, YMCAs and other not-for-profit organizations, and a multitude of businesses that depended upon steel also were affected. It was a shock. Hope was thin, prospects were dim and an end of an era seemed at hand. Since then, the population of Warren has declined by 19,000 residents. Despite all that, Warren was not then, nor is it now, a city of the dead. Sensational publications use hyperbole regularly to lure the readers’ interest, but such usage compromises the credibility essential to an informative, reliable publication that holds and draws new readers. One recognizes the WSJ as a leading national paper and expects top journalistic standards.
