The Citizen Expects You To Jump
It always nice to give a bit of free advertising to a worthwhile public event.
Say the flyover of Canadian Forces jets at the Canadian Tulip Festival on Saturday. Yessirree a great little event.
Except for one thing.
The Ottawa Citizen did the public service thing with the tulip fest without much lead time. Exactly 54 minutes.
The planes were too open the festival at 11:00 a.m. but one of The Bulldog’s feedreaders received it at 10:06 a.m.
Not a whole bunch of lead time.
Yup, the Citizen was right on top of the news. But it might have been nice to have a bit of lead time.

Where was the Bulldog on this notice?
I don’t find the Citizen (or other media outlets, for that matter) to be as community-oriented as it once was. Their coverage of local events is sorely lacking since they cut the number of reporters out and about in the community. Hearkening back to the old days, you could follow what was going on in your local area as well as across the city in the Citizen or the Journal but those days, sadly, are long gone.
We don’t need to go back to reporting that Mr. and Mrs. George Piccadilly were visiting her sister, Mrs. Henry Jones, and her family for a week and would be seeing the sights in the city. But somewhere in between would be great.
