I’m batting .750 in old media
Over the last couple years I’ve written (I think) four letters to the editors of the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. Most recently I wrote one last week in response to this letter. Today they printed it. That makes three out of the four that have made it to publication. Woo hoo!
As an aside, I noticed that they recently started allowing people to post responses to the letters. An excellent idea since letters are so often edited for brevity.

Way to go, Derek!
Now if only they would figure out how to cross-link between letters and responses… They should have backlinked to the previous letter you referenced, and frontlinked from that letter to yours.
They claim they want pageviews, but they ignore these opportunities — or blame it on their CMS… sigh….

No kidding. I had to search a bit before finding the original letter I responded to. But at least they’re improving. They already seem to have a thriving local sports community. Since letter writers are very likely their most passionate readers, they should do everything they can to cultivate this.
