The national media "repeatedly
scooped" The Plain Dealer on
the New
Times-Village Voice Media antitrust
story that was brewing "in its own
backyard," says Free Times' Michael
Gill."I didn't have any trouble selling
(the story) upper right on the front page of
the business section on a Monday," the
New York Times' David Carr tells
Gill, "and that's tough space to get."
Commenting on the government's role in
the antitrust investigation that led to the
story, Carr also says, "I wish they'd aim
that gun at some bigger game."
