H-T Editor Bob Zaltsberg
...
We have Bob Zaltsberg, H-T editor, online for today's chat.We've already received several questions.
Z, are you ready to begin?
BOB ZALTSBERG: Ready as I'll ever be.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: We have always believed the information we provide has value.That's why newspapers have charged subscription fees forever.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: Thanks for the question, HBT.
If there is an important sporting event or news story - elections are an example - we move some work earlier into the evening so that we have all our resources focused on the last story or two of the night, and we will hold the press for a short time to make sure we get that late IU game, national championship game or breaking news story in the paper.It doesn't happen often, but we can make adjustments.
QUESTION: Hi, Bob.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: Good thoughts.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: Barack Obama is a charismatic, thoughtful, bright leader.I think his entry into presidential politics has brightened this year's campaign.
QUESTION: I see another child was left alone by a parent and she gets arrested.I have seen nothing in your paper about the couple who left their child at Showplace East, and they were let go.Do they know someone at the H-T, or can your staff find out more information about this?
roger, bloomington
BOB ZALTSBERG: Both of those stories appeared on our front page.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: Hi John.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: It's not that I don't care.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: We will be following that story up soon.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: I'm not sure any of our reporters knew this.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: Hi Eric:
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: We're planning on doing a story or stories in the not-too-distant future about several aspects of township government.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: Good question about the lack of indoor bicycle parking in the new parking garage.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: I appreciate your comments.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: Part of the answer is our ability to get the information you are after.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: I appreciate your question.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: We do try to let the participants have a lot of freedom when they comment on our site.Our decisions are made based on our interpretation of the rules and guidelines we have in place.You obviously disagree with some decisions we've made, and that's certainly your right.
QUESTION: Bob, I think you and everyone else at the H-T are doing a great job.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: Thank you for your comments.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: I'll forward this to Todd Davidson, who is in charge of our digital media operation.
...
BOB ZALTSBERG: Sorry, Jenna.
...
Any parting thoughts, Bob?
