NEWS commentary
September 24, 2007
By Wes von Papineäu, News Page Editor Email: crocnews@crocodopolis.net
Way back in
November 06 when my Web-Editor Boss (Israel) invited me to participate
in Crocodopolis, we zapped a series of emails back and forth
discussing what, if anything, 'croc-related news' could add to this
site, and if in fact there was enough croc-specific news out there to
make a separate ‘Croc News’ webpage worth while. After feeling our
way through a variety of concerns having to do with the limited time
available to the two of us (which is still a problem); copyright
concerns; and webpage program/ISP limitations; a 'work in progress'
version of the croc news page developed as 'Crocodopolis
grew'. I’m pleased to report that the croc news effort has settled into
a manageable ‘routine’ for the two of us and seems to have met with
modest success and acceptance with you the readers.
Since we started to post crocodilian-related press
items - to a the end of the August 07 offerings, Crocodopolis Croc
News has featured ‘about’ 660 press items – 45-ish of which are in
a language other than English (that’s about 6% of the total).
Bottom line:
we’re managing to ‘average’ a posting of three croc-press items per day
(not necessarily posted 'each day'), and manage to include a non-English
item once a week!
Izzy and I have now found a balance within our
inter-twined professional lives that allows a (more-or-less) continuous
(albeit with intermittent army-induced gaps) coverage of the
world-crocodilian.
Not withstanding technical gremlins that
afflict all websites at the worst possible time, we should be able to
maintain the variety and timeliness of coverage of international
crocodilian press that you can come to expect from Crocodopolis! It’s an honour to
participate and contribute to such an august body of readers. Respectfully; Wes
Your newt-keeping, pro-croc Paperboy
