Body Worlds worse than pregnancy photo?

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Memories of long-departed newspapers

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

As you might imagine, we’ve received hundreds of complaints about recent changes to the PDTV, the weekly guide to television.

One caller today likened the Post-Dispatch — especially the new TV book —  to toilet paper. The St. Louis Star-Times…

Headless candidate

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I fielded four complaints today — I suspect Sunday editor Ron Wade and photo editors heard others — about the photo on Sunday’s front page that showed a headless Joe Biden.

More on relocated features

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

We’re still getting a few calls about the changes in our features sections, with the biggest complaint being that the comics and features are hard to find.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

As Page One editor, my name appears  at the top of  the list of editors’ phone numbers on Page A2. So I take a fair share of readers calls that are unrelated to the front page.

Guns and headlines

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

At this morning’s  critique of today’s front page, an editor wondered why “Purchase records sought for two guns used in rampage” was among the headlines at the top of A1.
