We’ll undoubtedly see more people saying respectful phases like, “pardon me,” “if you please,” and “with all due respect.” At worst, if someone is really upset, they may lash out with an impudent “great balls of fire!” Perhaps when the next science story is published, Facebook users will instinctively turn the course of the conversation toward reconciling general relativity with quantum physics. There will likely be spontaneous conversations about Pindar and Chekhov breaking out all over the place.

I’m confident this move will create a comments section for the Journal Star that is full of real people talking about interesting things in civil ways. People using their real names are the epitome of restraint and civility. Oh yes, I’m sure it will raise the level of dialog, because people never say uncivil things under their real names. We will continue to invite debate and contrary opinions – we just encourage that the discussion be respectful. It’s our hope that the move to Facebook commenting will raise the level of dialog on and encourage more readers to participate. Consider it similar to an Opinion Page letter to the editor, which is verified by our newsroom before being published in our print edition. Facebook accounts bring context to our commenting platform, linking to the identity of a registered user who might think twice before saying something they might not otherwise say face-to-face. The Journal Star posted on its website today a new policy: to comment on stories, you have to have a Facebook account.īeginning Friday morning, readers who wish to comment on articles will do so using their Facebook account. Mark Zuckerberg is feeling the love coming from Peoria’s only newspaper of record. Given the staffing cuts (and attrition) and the resulting, inexorable reduction in content, it won’t be long until the Journal Star is nothing more than an ad circular. The removal of the Forum section today (part of the Opinion page) illustrates the paper’s complete disregard for its bread and butter. But then, the Journal Star stopped caring about its readers a long time ago. The editor apparently didn’t feel any need to explain the reason for this reduction in content to his readers who are not, of course, getting any commensurate cut in their subscription rate. The Opinion page will no longer be published on Mondays. Also inside the B section are classifieds. Sports is at the front of the B section today.

The Comics page also is in A section today.

The A section also contains the TV page, obituaries, police and courts news, matters of record, the Leisure & Advice page and weather, located on the back page of this section, and other features. Added to the expanded A section is Local & State, which appears on. The A section continues to house national and world news. The newspaper will have two sections on Mondays. The format of the Monday Journal Star is changing starting today. Executive Editor Dennis Anderson writes in a “Note to Readers” in Monday’s edition: Peoria’s newspaper of record, the Journal Star, continues its death spiral as it announces today that it is cutting still more content from the paper.
