Getting lit in Humboldt County?


From the front page of the ER (only, in print, about the size of a breadbox): "Sunset at the Arcata Bird Marsh and SanctuaryHumboldt Film and Digital Media Commissioner Barbara Bryant said locations such as these are a start..."

From the T-S: (italics ours): "A bill that would allow run-of-the-mill highway billboards to be replaced with spanking new electronic message panels apparently slipped through the cracks of the state Assembly recently... CBS Outdoor owns several signs on Highway 101 in Humboldt County... It sees a captive audience..."

Might compromise those pretty sunsets, hmmm? You'd think the ER's Nathan Rushton would've been on this story -- 'specially with his hard-hitting look at local tourism -- but looks like the Driscollator scooped him again. Should we expect another limp-wristed smackdown from GFS? "We hope the Times-Standard and Driscoll can learn from this mistake and change direction." Apparently, they didn't -- JD just keeps on reporting on stuff.

Welcome to the Humboldt blogosphere!

Precisely.
