Chet Shaftner: The Houston Chronicle, the brightest printing star in the Lone Star State, is falling under tough times in this new era of 24/7 instant news tickers on both the internet and TV. But the centennial mainstay of the community is looking to bring itself back from the brink, by utilizing one simple trick that makes Galveston doctors furious: Court Lody. For those of you not from the Houston area (or perhaps not even from the United States), you might ask who this sensationalist is? Lody has his finger on the political and cultural pulse of this nation and the Houston community, like no other. If there is a news story worth drawing attention to, Lody will shoot it out to the masses like a hot cheerleader with a t-shirt cannon at a minor league hockey game. The Chronicle is keen to take advantage of this. At the moment, internet darling Yahoo News, commands Lody's full attention, but without any financial compensation, the Chronicle feels it could pull at the political watchdog with the right incentive. "Since Mr. Lody appears to be doing his work for the good of the nation, we won't insult his convictions by offering him a substantial cash incentive to switch to us," says Chronicle cartoonist, Nick Anderson. "But we would like to appeal to his sense of local civic responsibility. The Chronicle employs over 2000 people. Without Lody's help by supporting our paper, those people could be left without a job. Does he really want 2000 out of work journalists and printers loose on his streets doing God knows what? I sure as hell don't." Although a formal offer has not yet been submitted to Lody, the editorial staff at the Chronicle has said it should be forthcoming by end of business today. At that point, the political football will be left in Lody's hands. Will he continue to play the field? Or be a good steward of his community, taking his ball, and going home? This reporter, could not care less. |
