Jackson State gonna Jackson State

[FlotownDawg]

Clarion-Ledger is suspending coverage of Jackson State football because they won't make any players or assistant coaches available for interviews. JSU says "fine with us." Never seen anything like it, a newspaper refusing to cover a school and the school basically being OK with it. Always something going on at JSU it seems. Here's the story.

JSU's leadership sounds much like the city of Jackson's...

They both seem to have this mentality of cutting off their nose to spite their face.

It's not a smart decision for JSU to do this, but they have a right for media privacy if they want it. Making bad decisions is par for the course at JSU.

The Clarion Ledger will not lose what few readers it has left over not covering Jackson State football. In fact, the Clarion Ledger could stop covering sports all-together and most Mississippians still wouldn't read it.

I bet both parties don't skip a beat. Local rags aren't needed like they once were. You can control your own message and reach more people with social media.
