This is not new. For years your local editors have gone around having to apologize in the community, in an embarrassed fashion, saying, “Sorry the article didn't appear. I don't have editorial control. The decisions are being made down in Newmarket and Aurora. I don't know why we have an article about something that happened in Aurora and the stuff about Georgina didn't appear.”
They've been doing that for years. It's not new. It's not with the recent reductions in staff. It's one of the most embarrassing things about being a Metroland editor up in my communities.
