This is a forum for discussion about Olympia's daily newspaper: The Olympian. This is the place to track where they get things wrong, what they choose to cover, the staff comings and goings, etc. [update] I'm still working out the bugs on this. I'm trying to set up a threaded forum, but I just can't wrap my head around it tonight. It will have to wait for tomorrow and a clear head. [update 12/9/05 - 7:00am] Thanks to a friend for the technical assistance. We've got the forum up -- you can reach it through the link to the right. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think. [update 12/9/05 - 12:00pm] Hmmm. Still not behaving as expected. [update 12/9/05 - 11:00pm] I think it is working now. You have to first open a forum topic -- say, about a particular story in the Olympian -- then folks can post under that forum topic. Ok, watchers. What's happening? |

Submitted by stevenl on Thu, 12/08/2005 - 11:26pm.When I was a kid, the Daily Olympian (as it was called back then) was an unapologetic right-wing newspaper, specializing in lurid car crash photos on the top of the fold. On Sunday, the comics section was not in color, but it was printed on pink paper (!?!) We had another paper here in town, a weekly, called The Olympia News, which, as I recall, made the Daily Olympian look like the New Yorker. That newspaper was headquartered where Canvas Works now resides. The Daily Olympian was stationed on the SE corner of Capitol and State.
