More renaissance news! The A-Jello rag Spotlight Newspaper will cease printing a Schenectady County edition in March. Apparently business in renaissance County ain't too good. They will concentrate solely on
Albany County publications. Unfortunately this didn't happen before Election Day but one less arm of the corrupt DEM County machine.

Maybe they were tired of using the 'facts' provided by the Plex and the City only to realize numbers were puffed, job creation was a lie, home sales figures were untrue....hard to run a paper based on falsehoods.

Spotlight is also to cease printing a Saratoga County edition... I guess because that county is going to hell also

they will still be posting the news online. just not in hard copy.

it appears that advertising revenue is down.

At least you can view their stories on line.....FREE....unlike the gazetto!!

Spotlight was always the Republican rag--as I recall.  Poor Marjorie Schmidt.  Where will she go now to extol the virtues of her protoges Steve Tommasone and Johnny Boy Mertz?

Then it makes no sense to leave the Republican bastion of Saratoga County to concentrate on heavily Democratic Albany county... It tells me the political slant of the publication is long gone.

As usual the person who started this threat is misstating the actual facts to push a loony tunes anti-Schenectady agenda.  The facts are:   the Spotlight is a poor quality newspaper and thus can't sell advertising to keep itself afloat  AND the nayboobs remain hellbent on tearing down our community by resorting to lies and distortions.

NONE of the newspapers sell as much advertising as they used to. They rely on the major supermarket chains as all local media does. Spotlight didn't get an ounce of that $$

In ten years there will be no daily papers in print

Also, comically enough- ever notice the correlation between the scare tactics employed by all local media in advance of any winter weather event, and how they always implore people to get "prepared" by having milk, bread, water, canned goods, meat, cold cuts and other items like batteries, toilet paper and sundries that are magically all found at the markets!?!?

It usually goes like this:
Quoted Text

"A HUGE STORM THREATENS THE REGION THIS WEEKEND- EXPERTS ADVISE TO BE WELL PREPARED IN ADVANCE OF THE STORM (that means go to the local market NOW) and once the storm hits, make sure not to go out onto the very dangerous roads so that plow crews can get the roads cleared!!!!!!!!!"



Usually, once the buying has reached fever pitch and the markets have had sales numbers comparable to Wednesday before Thanksgiving it is either downgraded or as of late they skip the downgrade and continue fear-monger the schit out it and ends up A) a dusting B) 1/4th of what was predicted  C)no precipitation at all. However, peoples' garbage cans are then filled with rancid cold cuts, veggies, and the pantries are filled with useless canned goods and bottled waters. Batteries are misplaced, and toilet paper is stocked for a month. However most of the stuff that the people buy gets used I bet, but they never need as much as they buy and then when at the store-buy stuff they don't really need.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Don't fret. This is another indicator of DEM moron renaissance. You can get all the news from the Gazetto!
