 The ABA (American Basketball Association) came to Halifax this weekend. The all-star game and the talent level of the players were very good but it could have been so much better had Halifax equipped themselves with people who know how to deal with the media.
Sure, I liked that I saw this weekend from the ABA. To bad it wasn’t promoted the right way. Proper promotion would have meant a much higher attendance.
Here’s the great, good, bad and ugly of this ABA experiment.

Dear Madame or Sir,
I am writing to you in response to the article written by DL McCraken [sic] on Friday January 26th, 2007 entitled 'Are CTV and Global National Sanitizing News from the Robert Pickton trial? '. I am shocked, dismayed and horrified at the stance that your writer and your paper has taken on the trial coverage of this case.

A disturbing trend has been slowly developing in the shadow of the beginning of the Robert "Willie" Pickton murder trial which will no doubt dominate the news over the next year. At this juncture the public have been privy to only minor tidbits of the unspeakable actions allegedly committed by "the pigman" and what we know is indeed troubling to say the least. It is now the duty of our national news providers to fill in the blanks and report to the public in a succinct and thorough manner.

NO RESPONSE FROM NOVA SCOTIA POWER Not looking good for Nova Scotia Power customers. The silence from NSP is quite deafening and blatantly revealing. The silence from NSP confirms the suggestion that they care nothing for their customers and if some of these customers are forced to fork over $800 to repair a NSP-supported alternative heating unit, too bad so sad. |
