Random and occasional comments on Quincy news media

God bless the Quincy Herald-Whig! It keeps the word "Whig" on people's lips when it otherwise would be forgotten! And occasionally news sneaks in as well. But only in between bouts of Soap Box derby promotion, build-a-highway puffery, and accounts of preachers' vacations. Granted, all community journalism involves a bit of boosterism now and then, but the QHW takes it to delightful heights.

Forecast: Many many articles in the next month about SHOUTFest, which got huge amounts of ink last year.......until it came time to report the size of the crowd that actually came, which was well below the predicted number.
