At first I thought "we steel their news articles every day", but then I remembered A, we link to the story and give the writers credit in our posts(even if forum members don't post it that way, I go back and change it to give the paper and the writers credit). Â B, We are not journalists on this forum.
Its just weird that would not catch that ballpark in there?

Wish we were tax exempt!! Then again we'd have to be making money Trying to keep it real over here at Omaha.net - come by and check us out. We're too small to be the news.. but we're trying to tell a good story.
I think they just roll with a different random photo each day. Â One day it had Josh's (the1wags) paint brush ballpark in Heartland of America park rendering in it!Stargazer wrote:Speaking of NTK... did they always have a Wallstreet Tower skyline next to it?? (the original design no less)

It's not surprising that a media outlet would make mistakes without checking the facts/knowing what they're doing. For instance, a few days ago on KETV:
But I agree - the OWH website looks bad. There's so much they could take off and it would still be equally informative (take off who "likes" them on Facebook - nobody cares; photo galleries about non-news events or things; less advertising, etc).The Millard South Patriots and Millard South Mustangs are known for their rivalry in high school football.
Is it your photo again?the1wags wrote:World Herald strikes again. This time they forgot what city they are in. I'll give ya a clue, it's in your business name and it's your website. Try all you want, but Omaha is not and will not be Denver. Hacktacular.

I noticed that today, too, Josh and immediately recognized it as Denver. I know it's not as bad as this, but one of their other photos that they use for the "Need To Know" section is a skyline shot with a half-built First National Center - that means it's about a decade old!!!!

Better than the Getty Image national websites or media organizations use of Omaha with the skyline from the Mall without First National!StreetsOfOmaha wrote:I noticed that today, too, Josh and immediately recognized it as Denver.

Oh for Christ sakes. Â The World-Herald should be HAPPY that anyone reads them any more. Â And there is such a thing as fair use.
When they moan:
"The newspaper occasionally allows campaigns to quote from its content, but newspaper management always insists on reviewing the material beforehand."
...they just make me laugh. Â People quote from newspapers, TV and other media all day long, and they have for eons. Â Since Gutenberg. Â So long as you keep it succinct and attribute the quote it is called fair use.

If the situation is as presented by the OWH, fair use doesn't apply. Â No one can use their logo to make it look like the publication/flyer/pamphlet is originating from the OWH (without permission, of course). Â I can't imagine there not being a significant settlement of some kind if it is as presented by the OWH.
Now, it might have made things easier to determine if the OWH would have posted the pamphlet in question.

I was notified this morning with a pop-up which declared I had read 3 "premium content" stories this month and was solicited to subscribe. Â It was the second link I had clicked on today and so I suppose it started counting yesterday afternoon sometime.Twiztid1 wrote:But if they label too many stories as 'premium content'
It upsets me off that I can't read the new stories anymore with out paying. Â I would not mind paying a small monthly fee, but to know that part of my money would be paying for the salaries of Rainbow and Breaking Brad, I just can't do it.
I wish they would have one price if you only want the news and another price if you want the stupid stories...

You must have not used up you 25 monthly views. Â When you hit 25 a big box will pop up.S33 wrote:I'm not having any trouble accessing any of the content, with or without the circle?
The box takes abut 5-10 seconds to come up, so if you are fast you can cut and past the text in to word or something and read it.
