Hi Ron and Bryn, As the MLive alum on the staff, | get to field all the questions about MLive coverage. We just had a meeting and there were some questions for you. Has there been, or will there be, a standalone story about the $1.5 million investment in the new filter system? The concern is that when an outside attention-seeker or local agitator puts up a Facebook post, no matter how outlandish the claim, it generates a story and the subsequent social media — and we’re grateful for the opportunity to comment on those. xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0745_2185_2186_1 But yesterday the city made an announcement of a tangible effort to address the issues, a true example of the state working with local leaders through restructuring the existing debt. That didn’t generate a separate post, but was ina second post — we’re counting the video — about the pastors threatening to sue. It wasn’t mentioned in the headline, and not until the fifth paragraph. We didn’t see any social media traffic on it. Usually | can explain to the people here that MLive often spreads stories out over several posts to keep content fresh and maximize the amount of clicks. But this one has me stumped, especially on an issue that has been so well covered. Are you guys planning a story detailing the new filter system? Or, if we’ve missed one, can you send me the link so | can share it with the folks here to ease their concerns? Thanks for the help! Dave xxxEND_PAGE:executiveofficeemails20_b0745_2185_2186_2
