Actually, if you look closely at the two editions, there is a little bit of a difference. The movie times listings in the "city edition" include theatres in Queens, Manhattan, eastern Brooklyn,and Nassau. In the "long island edition", the listings are only for Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens. And in the Sunday real estate section, in the city edition they list area home sales in only Queens and Brooklyn. |

That crculation scandal a few years ago. After "New York Newsday" folded in 1995, they continued publishing a "Queens Edition" at first, and between then and 2000-2001, it very slowly evolved back into a NYC newspaper. They even called it the "city edition", after calling it the "Queens Edition" since 1995. HERE is an interesting article that was in the NY Times back in early 2001. |

It also seems impossible to get a Letter to the Editor published any more unless the writer is from Nassau or Suffolk. During the eighties and nineties before it was possible to vent on the Internet, I actually had a couple printed. Not over the past decade, though.He was specifically talking about the "City edition" in that case, and regardless of the paper's area of focus, you would think national news would trump a story about a memorial Facebook page for a car crash victim. That belongs in free weeklies. |

That's because their mission is to cover LI.It's like complaining that the Rockaways paper doesn't have enough coverage of Woodside or that the Chinese-language paper shortchanges coverage of Latino issues. Only if said Rockaways paper's "Woodside Edition" doesn't cover Woodside. |

And yes, he was talking about the "city edition", which I told you, it's basically a Nassau/Suffolk paper, and the "city edition" of it is no different than the "LI" editions of the Post or Daily News, which may throw in a couple pages of "LI" local stuff, but it's still a city paper.And OBVIOUSLY the national news comes first, but who was talking about that? I don't know what you are trying to nitpick here, it seems like an argument about nonsense, because you decided to throw nitpicking nonsense into this. |

It may throw a "token" page in about "Woodside", if there is a "Woodside" edition. Just like the LI editions of the Daily News may throw in a bone page about "Suffolk" in the "LI" edition, it's still a city paper.This is such nonsense, it's like complaining that News 12 doesn't cover much city stuff, or NY1 doesn't cover much LI. |

And OBVIOUSLY the national news comes first, but who was talking about that?If there's a huge event- usually an accident or sensational murder- that occurs in New York City proper, it will get token coverage. But a similar event taking place in Nassau or Suffolk- or involving a resident (such as the Schuler family)- will dominate for days at the expense of city, or even national and international coverage. |

His reports of stabbings, shootings, assaults, and other felony crimes, to include long gun drive bys in the vicinity of bodegas, is usually timely and accurate and thus deserving of our praise.Praiseworthy as he may be, he can never match Olog-Hai's relentless Pulitzer-worthy, groundbreaking, up to the minute, hair-raising reporting of the European Commission's undisputably Earth-shattering actions as they unfold. |
