Consider this a disclaimer, because it only seems fair to be upfront. I've criticized the Athens Messenger ('Mess) and Athens News (A-News) from time to time, and it's no secret our paper messes up too, but there won't be any snide remarks about The Post on these pages.
As per Post policy, I can't critique the paper. That distinction/responsibility is solely given to Ashley Lutz, our editor in chief. It's a rule that I'm okay with, as the ability to comment on a daily paper with more than 100 employees shouldn't be granted to everyone. If the rules say only the editor can do so, that makes sense to me.
So perhaps unfairly to them, Athens media criticism will be directed mainly toward the Mess and A-News. Then again, A-News editor Terry Smith is a fan of the Silver Jews and Pavement. Your move, 'Mess.
