COLUMBIA - For about a year, KOMU 8 has asked for input from our viewers, and perhaps in the process, you've learned something about journalism along the way.
Just because a story has hit the airwaves, doesn't mean that its over.
Jerry Butcher Jr. wrote us about a recent McDonald's story.
"The lady said that it was unsanitary. Well, the city parks aren't nearly as clean as our playland," Butcher wrote. "What is she going to do if she finds a handprint on the slide at the Fulton City Park, go to Columbia so her kids can play on the jungle gym? That would be ridiculous."
And Jim Scheff thought we got the Mark Twain National Forest story all wrong.
"I am utterly amazed at how wrong you all got the story you did on the Mark Twain National Forest's southwest project," Scheff wrote. "The reasons people are upset with it are because it includes thousands of acres of logging and other things. And in the Epple Tract in particular it includes heavy logging, building roads (not just trails as you say in your report), building parking areas, introducing cattle grazing, building fences for cattle, fertilizing and maintaining old pasturelands. And yes, adding one trail which no one opposes."
KOMU did a follow up to our original story, which included some of the additional items Scheff mentioned.
As always we welcome your comments. Watch Friday nights at six as we report your view of the news.
