Brandon Sun vs. ITVbrandon
3/29/2010 at 1:51 PM
It looks like Brandon's newest news source is getting under the skin of our local news editor.
Three times in the past two months I've read The Brandon Sun taking shots at ITVbrandon. Last month O'Connor was going after them when they were barely out of the gate. Last week, Brandon Sun photographer Colin Corneau made an off-handed comment of the ITVbrandon facebook page when they posted a video. And this weekend in the Sun, O'Connor went after them again for scooping the Sun on an interview with the Prime Minister. Maybe O'Connor was disappointed that he didn't get a photo with Steve to hang on his office wall.
Either way, all this attention that the Sun is paying to ITVbrandon sure make it seems like they're feeling a little threatened by this local upstart of a news broadcaster.
On the upside, it's has led to the Sun laying off eBrandon for the time being.
