The most telling way of gauging opinions/trends among the local great unwashed is through their comments posted directly to articles, letters and opinions on the Nelson Star's website.
Multi-level community-newspapering.
For weeks now, while posting comments through Facebook - the only means possible but that's another story - is still possible: accessing comments directly below articles has not been. Regardless of thoughtful preparation and length: comments have been pointless for an unreasonable period.
Public opinion? Weeelll ...
To further complicate: while comments to Star material are posted through Facebook - this does not mean they automatically appear on Facebook as well. For appearance on Facebook they have to be posted on Facebook directly. Which way disconnects them from website articles when read: it lacks immediacy and is the kind of thing that has not-so-smart-phone-addicts bump into trees in yet another story.
I'm sooo appy!
Teasingly - sometimes numbers of comments show momentarily: when we went through the LV Rogers thing one showed over a hundred! But clicking on the number - nothing!
The Star has been aware of this and shrugs what can we do it's all happening-though-not in Vancouver. Clearly - Black Press has problems: I mean - they need editors all over the place at least in Castlegar and Fernie.
