Letters to Editor

Hi David,

Barbara and I truly see a fine change in the Tribune since you have taken over.....

We did not have any complaints with Heather Wilson, But the approaches are new and different..

Especially, I respect HOW you replied to an individual that started every sentence with a WE and I am not certain who the WE is, for a questionable charity.

It is common knowledge that there are some charities in the area that are charities in name only, and are for the sole benefit of some scrupulous organizers that use it to earn money for themselves by CREATING a cause..

Also, the dialogue that took place with you and the person who disputed the benefits of Dr. Mike Lees’ diet program, might have not occurred if you had displayed the fact that it was a PAID for ADVERTISEMENT....

Seems that all ARTICLES should say that ,if it is looking for business to earn money.....and not confuse the readers as to the authenticity of it’s contents...

Keep up the great work David



Hello Mel,

I´m glad you like the changes and appreciate your comments.

We know we can´t please everyone all the time, but we do try.

Heather did an excellent job as I had previously mentioned and I really hope some folks will accept the fact that the Tribune of the past is just that, history.

The Board of Directors want the Tribune to be a more dynamic and provocative.

There seems to be a lot of duplication in the local “English media”.

We feel there is a time and a place for certain content, however we want to bring you more exciting articles, local news as well as coverage of Mexico as a whole, but most of all different from the rest of the bunch.

As far your comment regarding Dr. Lee, it has been properly marked as a “Paid Advertising” as of last week.

This is the only such ad in the Tribune.

Mel


Hey David,

Paper looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a change!!
I need to contact Krystal Frost. How do I do that? I can only sleep about 3-4 hours per night…
You were running a weight loss article, and I would like to talk to them as well?
-I want to start with an ad asap in your paper….if you have a look at the pvscene.com forum, I have an ad that pops up there.
I want it to be very simple:

Hello David

I wrote last week about the omission of the DELTA AIRLINES telephone number in your publication

I am looking at this week’s paper and I see not only is Delta not listed, but UnitedAirlines is also missing-it would be nice to have these included in your Airline Contact List, since many people use these airlines...and especially today with the restrictions on baggage -- people sometimes need to check with their airline for baggage allowance and the cost of excess or oversize items if they purchase art itmes here in Vallarta.....I do not understand why you choose not to list two major airlines servicing this city.

Sincerely
Phyllis Robertson

Hello Phyllis,

The Airline listing has been updated to include both Delta and United.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention.





Hi


Would be nice to see pictures of the pier and to see how it is comming along.. and a little more daily news would make this paper a 10 out of 10

Hi Jerry,

In next week´s issue we will cover Old Town. Our focus is shifting a bit as you may have noticed.

We encourage and appreciate any and all comments whether you´re a “local” or a tourist.




Hello !
I like the changes you are implementing so far.

LOVE this weeks editorial. Finally someone mentions the elephant in the room, regarding self-serving ‘charity’ events.

I see that the ‘reading’ online has changed this week, with links to each ‘article’, but not a download .entire paper link.

Are you no longer going to be able to click this weeks’ issue to view the whole paper, page by page?

Or will that just be for past weeks’ issues?

Thanks, and keep it up !
:o)
