Something posted here or in print should tell you about what’s going on that affects our lives – our own, and those of our neighbors. When that story itself becomes the subject, it can rob the story’s issues of their significance; it gives primary place to something that should be secondary.

Monday’s headline “Holy Ghost excommunicates woman” did that, and Phoenixville took far too long Monday to get beyond the headline to the way-more-than-one issue in the story.

But that’s just to put a working journalist’s slant to a point already made, and made very well, in a public comment on the story Monday from an unexpected source.
