Your recent choice of the Puffin story, taken “off the wires,” failed to reflect an understanding of the strong local interest in this subject. Had you taken the few moments required to check with the Audubon website, you would have found a far more detailed and informative rendition of this story: bit.ly/AudPuffin
And, with a few more taps of the keyboard, you could have further delivered on your obligation to your readers by providing a small map that identified the area where these seamounts and deep canyons exist off the southern New England coast.
A diminished staff and hungry deadlines do not have to conspire against “the rest of the story.”

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
