I encountered some issues with wrong emails and out of date news notices in this week's TNL paper, and called the office.
Their website works: http://www.trianglenewsleader.com/
A new contact email for editorial submissions for "Andrew Pfister" was not working, and was rejecting emails. According to locally based Amanda Crosby, staff are handling classified ads locally and also press submissions for now at [email protected] until a new editorial contact is setup.
The editorial email was using a d-r.media address which is not the new owner's website. They are at d-rmedia.com (no period after d-r). All very confusing, but they appear to be based in Venice, FL (corrected) and are a holding company for news outlets.
But the local publisher, Ann Yeager, is still there.
If you are a news source who sends press releases to TNL, you might call them to verify which email to use for press releases or news items.
PS: The scary part is that it seems news decisions will be made by someone in Venice, Florida (if that is where the position is based). Why would we want news selected by someone at a holding company and not in the local office?
Hopefully this gets straightened out because we need all the LOCAL news sources we can get.
