Hey, remember when Chron reader representative James T. (the T is for Timely) Campbell asked Chron readers to submit questions for editor Jeff Cohen?
Here’s a timeline:
- August 28: Campbell asks for questions. Pledges response "during the week of September 5."
- Week of September 5: Nothing happens.
- Week of September 12: Nothing happens.
- September 15: I email Campbell asking about the questions. His response:
I’m going to post on your question tomorrow.
- September 16: Nothing happens.
- Week of September 19: Nothing happens.
- September 30: Campbell discloses he’s waiting on Cohen’s answers. Apparently the boss man is etching them in marble, by hand.
- Week of October 3: Nothing happens.
Time to get on the stick, Jeff. Pretend like you’re selling a high-quality product to customers with high expectations in a competitive market.

A Conflict of Visions: Idealogical Origins of Political Struggles
by Thomas Sowell
on the (clearly defunct) About: Chron blog I posted Thursday (but as of this morning it still had not been approved)a post basically saying that Mr Gibbons and Mr Cohen either need to step up to the plate and be more responsive to the reader rep (and the readers), or publically acknowledge that the reader rep is a lame duck and exists not to represent the readers so much as insulate the editors from the readers while making the paper superficially appearing to care.
but again, so far… crickets…..
Didn’t you ever hear the phrase “tomorrow never comes”? I think it applies here….
When Cohen wants your opinion he’ll give it to you.
Mike, I believe that goes to the very heart of the issue. The Chronicle would appear to think it should be the one to decide how you should think.
By the way, one of the questions was concerning the unethical behavior of one of thier reporters, Ms Finian and the features editor Ms (don’t call me Kyrie) O’Connor, the features editor that was acting as her supervisor. Ms Finian posed as an evacuee and would appear to have wasted time and resources of volunteers and donated matierials to simulate being an evacuee, suppisedly so she would be able to emathize with evacuees. The fact that when she was done she was going home to her warm bed and high paying job couldn’t possibly have affected how she saw things apparently.
