Off The Record

A competition in death as in life.

An article on the Paxton Record website this week lists the top 100 articles for 2009 that got the most hits by readers. Most of course are obituaries. We pity the family members of those deceased in 2009. The obituaries of their loved ones have been entered into a competition without their knowledge or consent. That article is indeed an exercise in very poor judgment!

Would the founding family of the Paxton Record consider this article worthy of column space? Does the current owner of the paper approve of this type of content?

Must be a very slow news week.
