METRO quietly announced yesterday (via press release) that it now has a presence on Facebook and Twitter.
Back when the Houston Press was mainly the work of professional journalists, those journalists dug up interesting facts, like the exorbitant salary of the woman responsible for METRO’s insipid blog. Now that Village Voice has turned over the shop mainly to amateurs in an effort to generate pageviews (we guess), readers are instead served this sort of nearly unreadable dreck from the amateur clique.
Too bad — we’re kind of curious if METRO had to hire yet another PR person to handle the additional social media load.
