Readers ask about various concerns

It's been almost a year since I started sharing some behind-the-scenes thoughts from The Citizen's newsroom in this weekly column, and wouldn't you know it, I've run out of things to write. Well, not really, but for this week's version, I thought it would be better to address a few unrelated issues that have popped in the last couple of weeks.

€ I heard from a loyal reader recently who observed that we always publish the Mike Reagan column online when it runs in the print edition, but we never post Amy Goodman's columns on the Web. The observation was that by doing so, we're showing a bias toward the more conservative Reagan over the more liberal Goodman.

While we would like to publish both columnists at www.auburnpub.com, we cannot because of the agreements in place with the companies that syndicate the two writers. Goodman's syndicate places restrictions on Internet use of her work, while Reagan's does not.
