A little less TMi; a little more Texas Mag
At a time when newspapers are experiencing declining readership, one would think the decision makers at these papers would not try to alienate any remaining readers.
We've written before about Texas Magazine being cancelled by the Chronicle. I am still missing it. And even though the Chronicle told us we could expect to see those types of stories in the "star" section, it hasn't happened.

A lecture on how not to overindulge when dining out. Talk about a snoozer.
Instead of remaking the whole paper to entice younger readers who aren't even interested in newspapers, why not give us dedicated, and paying, readers a little of what we want?
