Straight From The Horse's Mouth - Things We Don't Report On

Hermann Hearsay Editorial
Published by Clark Kant, Editor In Chief

Things Hermann Hearsay doesn't report on are:

1. deadly automobile accidents,
2. deadly domestic shootings,
3. deadly home fires and industrial explosions,
4. deadly drug overdose incidents, and
5. deadly drownings.

We don't chase ambulances, fire trucks or police cars.  We don't publish photos of dead or dying children nor their distraught parents.  We don't publish stories about or photos of burned out homes nor grieving women who have just lost their husbands.  We have decided to leave that kind of macabre reporting to others.

I guess it's just that we just don't delight in the misfortune of others.  And we refuse to profit in any way at the expense of others by reporting on their personal grief and misfortune.  Yes, I suppose it is true we could boost our readership by being the very first on the scene to report on these terrible human trajedies.  We just choose to leave that sort of reporting to those who are desperate to do anything for high ratings. 

You see my friends, Hermann Hearsay is not desperate in that way.  We could care less about gaining a reader following that way.  Instead, we are desperate to gain your respect and friendship.  That means much more to us than high ratings.  It may take longer to gain our fair share of the local Hermann market, but that's OK with us.  In the end though, we are pretty confident we WILL get our fair share of Hermann readers.  That's because we know what Hermannites want to read about and what they don't want to read about.
