Quite frankly Ray, I thought some of the same things after reading it.
No photos, examples of the stickers in question or photos of the
"Welcome to University City" bridge etc.
The writer didn't interview members of the community to get opinions.
well, I wouldn't have expected the author to have photos of
the painted bridge. he was focused on those little stickers,
how righteously indignant they sounded, how they themselves
were a hypocrisy, being themselves a marketing scheme. in
fact, zitcer thought that the authors of the stickers failed
to see the forest for the trees.
and it's also not likely that zitcer would have interviewed
anyone from the community for opinions, even though he
wondered why the stickers were made. as he puts it, he's
"well-educated, gainfully employed and safe" while some of
his neighbors "aren't". also, he assures us, he isn't kept
awake at night thinking about what to call the neighborhood
(which we can believe, especially after he's taken the
trouble to write all this for the city paper).
the main thing, though, is that zitcer himself already had
his own marketing scheme to promote, not anyone else's: "The
marketing campaign we need to conduct is one in which we
demand and work for better schools, better transit, more
effective government and safer, cleaner streets." and with
marketing like that, who needs photo evidence or
corroborating community opinions?
