Readers Write: Stay Classy, NBCPhiladelphia

Hey Philebrity-

Thought you might be interested in this screengrab. The god-awful new NBC 10 website randomly generates (at least I hope they’re randomly generated) these cutesy mastheads based on how readers have rated certain stories (not rated based on content or quality, but by your “reaction” to the story). Which could kinda work on a fluff piece, but when it’s a legitimate news piece about someone’s actual father actually falling out of casket, it’s probably not the best thing for your front page…

Yeah, but isn’t all of that cancelled out by the great community service provided by leading with Tony Danza and the “Michelle Obama Style Guide?”

    BTW – for those that care, WCAU isn’t responsible for their website design/concept … it’s happening across the board at some major NBC locals; like Los Angeles for example:

    which makes for some interesting reads — like how New Yorkers are ‘thrilled’ at Bernie dying of cancer
