Tulsa Today

From the December 1997 issue of the I/O Port Newsletter
The Tulsa World is a good newspaper, but occasionally it gets things wrong, like when it was suckered into supporting Mayor Savage's disasterous Tulsa Project.
A related story was on their "front page" on November 3, and it included photographs taken from a videotape played at the October 23 City Council Meeting which shows Ray Greene, Deputy Director Customer Services in the Public Works Department at 6:15 in the morning on election day (October 14) removing Vote No signs (but ignoring Vote Yes signs). The video tape is downloadable as a 5.6 meg AVI file (http://www.tulsatoday.com/signmovi.avi).
Like any newspaper, their front page is continually changing, so when you look at their site, it may be different from when I saw it, but on November 3 it featured a photo of Richard L Fricker, the new Managing Editor of Tulsa Today, in an interview with Yasir Arafat, reader mail complaining of the closing of Tulsa International Airport for the Air Show held to raise money for the Tulsa Air and Space Museum (you will recall that TASM was the initial home for the Tulsa Computer Society's Refurbishing Computers Project), the Sign War over the Tulsa Project is causing the City Council to examine whether campaign signs on public rights of way should be allowed two weeks before an election, Mayor Savage's letter of October 17 to neighborhood leaders puzzled over why her pet project was defeated by the most one-sided victory in Tulsa's political history, can the Total Tulsa Coalition that led the fight against the Tulsa Project continue to cross party, race, and economic lines to build a better future for Tulsa, and a photo links you to a lower page's discussion of a call for an audit of Tulsa Technology.
They have a number of very interesting statistics of where their readers are coming from, and what pages they are viewing the most.
