Bossing Around the Greeley Tribune: Part IV (can't say I blame 'em)

So, the highest vote-getter (the spammer arrest story) was not on the front page of today’s Greeley Tribune.  It wasn’t even in the first few pages.  Only those brave souls who thumbed all the way back to page A10 saw the story.

Instead, the front page featured an adorable little story about Georgia Wier Greeley’s folklorist.

Among the adobe houses at Centennial Village Museum, surrounded by a respect for history, Georgia Wier is right at home.

Wier is Greeley’s folklorist, by all accounts a rare position, and she takes to her work like an engineer to a math problem. Wier can barely contain her excitement while showing just a fraction of the works of art she has collected over the years.

“What a folklorist does is so varied,” Wier said. “It’s all according to what your individual skills are.”

I can’t say I blame ’em.  I’m sure a lot of readers will enjoy this feature.  Why should the reporter and the subject of the story be punished because nobody voted for the story online?

Frankly, the Trib is only making a half-hearted attempt at this.  If they want more people to vote, they have to promote it better.  Or scrap the idea altogether.
