While I agree with you regarding a Friday press release and the Saturday paper being the least read, those that take only the Denver Post get the Rocky on Saturday, so that is not an issue.
Exactly – there’s only one paper on Saturday. If you make an announcement on Thursday, you get a story in both papers on Friday. Since the JOA, Friday afternoon announcements are where stories go to die.
Roger, not the dead Gov., is right. Since the Joint OPperating agreement, Post subscribers automatically get the News on Saturday, except for the one page that carries my column, among others. Likewise on Sunday, News readers get the POST. Since daily circulation is about 250K for teachpaper, your two friday stories total about 500k. But we get a weekend jump, so Saturday has a combined circulation of 600k. Sunday is about 750,000. As a final bonus, the Post will often carry a story Sunday about an item it couldn’t cover Saturday. As Lenin said, “quantity has a quality all it’s own.”
True, but the increased irculation doesn’t mean that many people read the paper. The story that Paccione got in the Post was virtually worthless because it was so small. If she had announced on a Thursday, she would have gotten two good-sized stories on Friday that could have been used for mailers or handouts later.
Alva, I see that you have taken Wes off the 4thCD line. Has he dropped out?
Alva, you said the story she got in the Post. Did she get one there or did you mean to say The News? Besides your post, the only thing I saw about her was a 4 inch AP account.
Amateur Angie
An announcement is your chance to introduce yourself to the voters.
Using a backdrop that resonates, a messages that sings.Instead Amateur Angie sends out a boring press release and gets a story buried in every paper in her district.
Angie will spend the enxt two weeks patting herself on the back and raise little money. The Republicans dodged a bullet and are sighing in relief
This was all the Post ran, was it not?

That’s the only one I found in our computer, Alva, which was really just a brief. If your point is that two stories, one in each paper, are better than one even if the circulation of the one is bigger, for the purposes of reprinting and fund-raising, it’s well taken. I’ve long argued that the real value of endorsements, for example, is in reprinting them and delivering them to voters who have have missed or forgotten the first. Back in the days when I flacked such things, I often released stuff on Sunday, knowing that the wire services were desperate for fresh copy Sunday afternoon. I could get stuff in Monday papers and sunday night broadcasts that would have been buried any other day.
Heard the DCCC dictated the release date because their Campaign for Change Web Site announcing Paccione was live on Thursday.
