Greetings, comrades. We here at Death of a Newspaper would like to take this opportunity to evaluate the Record Searchlight Wikipedia entry on a monthly basis.The last time we looked at it, there were still multiple journalists [who had been fired] listed as employed at the Record Searchlight.
This time we'd like to focus on circulation numbers, and the actual PAID staff versus "volunteers."
But, since all my embedded spies and embedded whackjobs, such as Philbert, have left the Record Searchlight building in straight jackets, I need your help to edit the Wikipedia entry.
Here goes:

Here goes:
Introduction
The Redding Record Searchlight is an award-winning newspaper serving Redding, California. It has a daily circulation of about 44,000 and hosts Redding's #1 news only news website.
[Our view: Um, when was the last time the Record Searchlight won an award under Silas Lyons' tutelage? Daily circulation of 44,000??? Yeah right!]
Going beyond news
The Record Searchlight pays special attention to Redding's rapid growth and ever changing economy. It is known for fundraising for victims of natural disasters, soldiers in Iraq and other problems around the nation and world. Every year the Record Searchlight sponsors dozens of events and activities in the community, including the regional spelling bee. It is known for being a biased news organization, though the local populace cannot decide whether the bias is liberal or conservative.
[Our view: Um, I did not edit that last sentence. I don't have a Wikipedia account. That was already in there, I swear!]

Public opinions
The Record Searchlight, and Redding.com, receives a lot of opinions, letters to the editor, blogs, Q&A pages, and comments about articles on Redding.com every day. However, the opinion section generally degrades into virtual screaming matches between local comment submitters.

[Our view: Ditto on that last sentence. Must have been some other prankster.]
Partnership with KRCR-TV
The Record Searchlight has an extremely limited partnership with KRCR-TV News Channel 7, the ABC affiliate for Northern California. Both news organizations highly advertise each other and E.W. Scripps, the parent company of the Record Searchlight, might buy KRCR-TV in the near future, creating a very dominant news department for a medium-small market, creating more circulation, an expanded website, and wider coverage with KRCR-TV.

[Our view: Huh? This must be an inside story of some sort.]

Our view: So, does Bruce Ross work at the Record Searchlight any more? His name does not appear on the staff list. Maybe he deleted his name himself? And I guess Marc Beauchamp is no longer considered an "on-line" blogger? And poor Andreas, he must be doing all the photography work for the entire newspaper by himself.
