Seeking more of your feedback at Gazette, GazetteOnline

You may have seen a promo in our paper about this: We are going to attempt something a lot of other newspapers do – collect feedback from our Web site and publish some of those comments in the paper.

This feature, at GazetteOnline and in The Gazette, is called “On Your Mind.” It is an opportunity for you to send your random thoughts on local concerns, issues, trends, events, reasons to celebrate or any other noteworthy happenings. Some guidelines exist: no slander, no personal attacks, no personal issues and no statements purporting to be facts that are deemed to be insensitively and indisputably incorrect.

Puzzled by that last guideline and in need of an example? Denying that the Holocaust existed.

Your comments will appear online and then we will select a few to print in our daily Gazette. We start taking comments on Monday at www.gazetteonline.com

Best advice is keep it short. Think "Twitter."

Check out the Sunday, Jan. 3, Gazette for a special eight-page section, Orange Rush, that celebrates the University of Iowa's 2009 season that led to the Tuesday night, Jan. 5, Orange Bowl game.

We have full coverage of the Hawkeyes in store at The Gazette. Tuesday morning we will have a Game Day section, as we do on Saturdays during the regular season. And we are poised to deliver Wednesday morning a strong report from the previous night's game, which may not finish until close to 11 p.m.

We're pushing back our press start Tuesday night for the game report. Because of that you may not get your morning paper Wednesday until 6:30. We'll do our best to make sure you get prompt delivery but feel we should let you know ahead of time about this. We wanted a shot at a next morning report that is part of a story our readers ranked as the No. 2 Eastern Iowa story of 2009.

In the meantime, follow our team coverage from The Gazette, GazetteOnline and KCRG-TV9 at the following online site:
