Post, Rocky deteriorating
The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News just get worse and worse and seem to get smaller each day as well.
Since I enjoy the comics on Sunday every week, I have to look through all of the Post’s advertisements, none of which I ever read, in order to find the one with the small notation, “Look inside for today’s full-color comics.” If Denver Newspaper Agency executives think this gets me to look at the advertisement on that insert, they are sadly mistaken.
It is also annoying that I must peel the ridiculous sticker ads off the front page of the Rocky every day. And I’ve never seen any photograph by Rocky photographer Barry Gutierrez that he didn’t shoot from the feet up. His attempts to be “creative” are really just stupid.

Unfortunately, both papers are becoming ad fliers with a little news --a lot of it wire service -- mixed in amongst the ads.
I realize they are attempting to maximize profits, but at what expense? If they keep losing subscribers due to poor quality are they still going to be able to attract all of the ads?

Yes, we noticed your 1/2 inch disclaimer above the Rocky Mountain News band referring us to the real front page buried in the middle of the paper. Where was your annoying sticky note advertisement on the "new" front page? I guess you didn't want us to miss the sports headline.
