Dear Jeff:
I understand your point about printing what the majority of people want to read. HOWEVER, that doesn't begin to explain why a newspaper will run 2,200 column inches of local golf scores while, at the same time, not publishing so much as a single column inch of local bowling scores.
No one will ever convince me that listing the names of 12 people competing in a local golf best-ball or scramble should have newspaper publicity, while the same newspaper won't devote even a line to a local bowler who rolls a perfect game or an 800 series.
Further, the newspaper continues to cover local tennis, and I can guarantee that tennis -- especially in this area, dominated by senior citizens -- in nowhere near as popular as bowling. And the newspaper also has no problem in sometimes publishing up to 20 inches of soccer results, including soccer matches from Germany, The Netherlands and elsewhere.
