Letter to the Editor


The Roanoke Times (Virginia)
November 9

Play up good news, downplay the bad

I'd really like to see more positive articles above the fold, such as the one about the teachers who got married onstage at William Fleming or the New York
Yankees playing a charity game at Virginia Tech.

The Roanoke Times publishes too many front-page stories with photos of psycho killers and criminals. It's deplorable how often your daily headlines are darkened with amoral death. It's no way to start a new day and is devoid of good taste, if not journalistic sense as well. Your content verges on being sociopathological.
