User reviews

less than illuminating

Constant typographical errors, rehashed reporting to add volume to stories. Digital version flooded with ads that obscure the screen - more flashing lights than in a casino, reporting is hardly up to the minute despite intrusive alerts. Little by way of national reporting. Feedback/comments from the same boorish quasi intellectuals who maintain running commentary of each others comments, seldom offer insight other than into bigotry and self interest. A newspaper owned by a person facing domestic violence charges is hardly worth bragging about as a source of information.

Stops working

If I read the paper online it kicks me out around the sports section. I have to close the app and restart it. It does not do this if I read via the articles ie if I don’t load the paper.

Advertorials

Far too many articles praising a business with no critique. Not a lot of journalism.

One sided reporting

I find that i prefer reading the comments online to the reporting, rather than the reporting itself. This is because the reporting is very biased, largely the options of the reporter. Many of the reporters are leftists and will not present the other side of the argument. It’s no longer balanced reporting. CT would be better served by looking at the comments section to know what its readers think. I would probably fire most of the hard left and even hard right reporters. We need balance media , not propaganda. I remain a subscriber because i want local news, but it’s on thin ice.
