Whose Times Is It Anyway?

The Benton County Daily Record and Northwest Arkansas Times had a story-sharing agreement even before the Daily Record’s parent company, Community Publishers Inc., purchased the Times last year. However, after reviewing the March 13 edition of the Daily Record, it appears this sharing thing is a one-way street.
The Daily Record had 13 by-lined articles — seven in news and six in sports — in the edition, and all 13 were by staff writers of the Times. In fact, the Daily Record, based in Bentonville, ran two Associated Press articles with Fayetteville datelines and another from Springdale.
Meanwhile, the Times had no articles from members of the Daily Record’s staff in that day’s edition.
