Reader reaction revives 'Dinette Set'
The first week of existence for the Enterprise’s newly re-designed page 2A, yourDAY, was a history-making week nationally and internationally, and an interesting week at The Enterprise.
* Reader reaction to the new look was generally favorable. One savvy reader, in a professional job on the fringes of the media, had this to say:
"I would rather you take bold moves to ensure the paper stays around than allow it to slowly disintegrate the way papers are doing in other places. The Enterprise is a good product."
Another shared this comment: "I'm loving the new look! VERY cool! . . . Congrats on a fabulously done section. Enterprise readers will surely love it! (At least this reader does!)
* I say reaction has been generally favorable because we upset and angered a fair number of readers as well.
A substantial number called or e-mailed to say they missed the presence of the comic "Dinette Set" on page 2A. To those readers and other fans, I say, turn a few more pages and you'll find your old favorite. "Dinette Set" has migrated to our comic page where it can continue to amuse fans.
We're moving the "Dinette Set" to the comic page because that's where it belongs. It's the right thing to do and, believe it or not, we always try to do the right thing.
"Dinette Set" is back in The Enterprise because we all recognize its quirky cleverness and we always wanted it in our paper -- just not in space that ought to be reserved for other information. The fact that readers shared their strong sentiments about the comic only reinforced our resolve to quickly get it back in the paper.
* A few readers also have called to ask why the lottery numbers are no longer on page 2A.
They are.
The numbers remain on this page, still on the far left side, just a little further down the column. The yourDay page is designed for things you need to get through your day, and we all recognize those winning lottery numbers might play a role in that.
* It's also worth acknowledging the most embarrassing error(s) of the week. We, not once, but twice, on both Tuesday and Thursday, ran a weather map that made the county seat of Tyler County the city of Tyler, not Woodville. I think many of our readers know Tyler is not in Tyler County, but in Smith County.
Almost any Texan can tell you about the mysteries of Texas geography: Jefferson is not in Jefferson County; Austin is not in Austin County; Houston is not in Houston County; Rusk is not in Rusk County; and Henderson is not in Henderson County.
I'm sure there are many more examples that seem equally random and senseless. So we should all face Austin and say three Hail Marys for this one.
