McClellan on A2 a good thing

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

A number of readers — and many of our staffers here — have wondered if the move of Bill McClellan’s column is a good or bad thing. In our minds, it’s definitely a good thing. A2 is prime real estate. Every bit as quick and easy to find as turning to the Metro section front.

It’s true the move occurs as we make some changes in zoning editions of the paper. (More of you will be seeing the same stories that people in other parts of the region see.)

But the new home for Bill’s column on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays is intended to make it more prominent.

The big question here is why? I have noticed that on P.A2 you usually hi-light the most inane and unnecessary photos such as bus crashes in Tenn. or kids having a mud fight. Well whatever. I guess McClellan must moving to the right place then. Just more of less from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

bad move. I now have to open up the front section, which I wouldn’t do otherwise, to find him. The front page of any section is more prominent than where you’ve put him now.

Where in the world did you get the idea to place Bill McClellan’s column on Page 2 of the A section? The least you could have done would be to place it under the fold where it would have been easier to see and read. That said, however, not being world news I see no reason to have moved it from the Metro section where it belonged with other columnists. I will continue to read Bill’s column each and every day, but this seems to be another of your unexplainable decisions. The last one was combining the Everyday section into a different section of the paper each day of the week. Gerry Klevorn

A2 has never been prime space in my opinion. On the front page of Metro section is where Bill belongs with Sylvester Brown. Put the new columnist on A2.
