[AsburyPark] Re: Another POV: TCN - All Paper, No News
Soft content? Some of it is downright insulting, IMHO! They are even caustic, if they consider you, the enemy! I've seen TCN go after some individuals, like a vendetta! I have to agree with the ad content. I remember when the Coaster was free, then was a quarter and I forget what it costs now. I find the Coaster to be an alternative newspaper to the Press and the TCN, which when it began was REALLY good, especially during political campaigns, to being a gotcha critic and sometime feisty, like I said to its' perceived enemies. If they don't like you, they go after you with a vengeance! Not the 1st alternative that used expletives either! Over all, they've stuck it to City Hall and the so-called developers, who have done this City in with their carrot antics and the City has swallowed their lies!

I don't have a link, but Google alternative newspapers. I found tons of alternatives this way and subscribe to several, not available in this area, (local and free), to the areas they're printed in.

[AsburyPark] Suspended Asbury schools chief to get $169G
Suspended Asbury schools chief to get $169G BOE settles part of lawsuit superintendent filed when he was removed in 03 BY NANCY SHIELDS COASTAL MONMOUTH BUREAU DECEMBER 24, 2008 ASBURY PARK The Board of Education has approved a payment of $169,500 to suspended Schools Superintendent Antonio Lewis that represents the settlement of just a portion of a lawsuit Lewis filed against the board the first time he was removed from his post late in 2003. State education officials reinstated Lewis in June 2004, and he oversaw the district for two more years before a subsequent school board, with different people in power, again suspended him in September 2006. The board tried to buy Lewis out the second time he was removed for $600,000. But state education officials stopped the buyout, and the state Attorney General's Office began an investigation of Lewis' central office operations. No findings have been released, and Lewis has continued to be paid just under $188,000 a year. His contract, which he received after being reinstated, expires in June 2009. The board this fall started a search for a new superintendent. Board Attorney Alan Schnirman said Tuesday that part of Lewis' original lawsuit against the board is still in court, but the district settled certain portions early on. This was settled to protect the board's members and the board's interests because certain of the claims are not covered by board insurance, Schnirman said. The settlement amount was $150,000, and the $169,500 total approved to be paid last week reflects interest that accumulated when the payment was not immediately made, school board members said last week. It was not clear Tuesday why the payment was delayed, resulting in extra thousands going to Lewis. Schnirman said he was not sure why. A lawyer for an insurance carrier is handling the overall case, Schnirman said. The only members still on the board from the first time Lewis was suspended are Adrienne Sanders, who was his supporter, and Robert DiSanto, who voted to suspend him but later attempted to work with Lewis when he was reinstated in 2004. In Lewis' first suspension on Dec. 10, 2003, the board brought tenure charges against him, based in large part on a state education report critical of several areas in which the district was found to be still deficient. But by early April of 2004, a state administrative law judge said the charges that Lewis was not improving the district appeared to constitute inefficiency, not removal, and required that Lewis be given at least 90 days to address those issues. William Librera, the state education commissioner at that time, reinstated Lewis in June 2004. During that time, Superior Court Judge Lawrence M. Lawson also ruled the school board, under its then-president, Remond Palmer, had shown a blatant disregard for the Open Public Meetings Act during the process of attempting to get Lewis out. Once reinstated in 2004, Lewis and the board, under new president Di-Santo, attempted to work together, and Lewis got a new multiyear contract. Eventually, however, the working relationship broke down. Yahoo!

The Internet has surpassed newspapers as the main source for national and international news for Americans, according to a new survey. http://tinyurl.com/89b3yw Television, however, remains the preferred medium for Americans, according to the survey by the Washington-based Pew Research Center for the People the Press. Seventy percent of the 1,489 people surveyed by Pew said television is their primary source for national and international news. Forty percent said they get most of their news from the Internet, up from 24 percent in September 2007, and more than the 35 percent who cited newspapers as their main news source. Yahoo!
