What you don't understand is that we're not trying to be a "real"
newspaper. That is the Asbury Park Press' job although they don't do
it very well.
The whole point of the triCityNews is to point out happening or dare
I say cool things across the entire Eastern Monmouth region, not just
Asbury, and connect the dots between them all. Plus push for
preserving and building great architecture and writing about the
local political scene. That's it. Yes it is only our opinions. And
while that may get annoying to some, that is what makes the paper
successful. It's different than any other news media whether you
agree or disagree with it. The paper is very well read and our
influence is felt from Point Pleasant to the Highlands whether you
believe it or not. And we do a lot of good things for a lot of good
people. For instance this week Market in the Middle was unfairly
blasted in the Press by Andrea Clurfeld. Marilyn, over at the Market,
is devastated. Well guess who's stepping up and defending her when no
other media outlet would? The triCityNews. We will be blasting
Clurfeld in this week's issue. It's these things that separate us
from everyone else. I don't have a problem with people who don't like
the paper. You can't please everyone no matter what field you're in.
Everyone has their own idea of what we should be writing. I have a
problem with people who say we don't do any good and this is
completely wrong.
