Chronicle watch

Looking at the online version of the Sf Chronicle today, they prominent announced the start of a feature called 'Chroniclewatch' that borrows from the aesthetic style of the New York Post of the SF Examiner. It is described here:

Every *day*, (not each week) they will choose something that 'needs to be fixed' in the San Francisco area, and give the name and phone number of the individual whose duty it is to fix it, but they have been negligent of their duties so far. The name and phone number and email address will be printed each day until it is fixed. Here is their first example - graffiti not cleaned up at a park for over a week since it was put there. At the bottom, they list the hotline for reporting your own 'broken' things.
" Is something broken in your neighborhood? Call us at (415) 777-7170 or e- mail chroniclewatch@ sfchronicle.com.

My reaction to this was that this seems a bit like Jerry Springer - I don't know that much about the situation with the uncleaned tagging - maybe the person who should clean it up is lazy, and maybe they are facing an unending tide of graffiti. But the idea of judgment and public shame really strikes a chord in the psychology of most people. So can the Chronicle - among it's 365 incidences of things that need fixing that it is going to announce every day of the year - actually choose the *real* things that need fixing in addition to street grime?
In the past, the Chronicle has explicitly stated in editorials that it doesn't cover a lot of protests because they feel that there are too many protests in the Bay area, and only unique protests or protests of more typical subject matter that involve violence and casualties will be covered. I've felt really disappointed when, for instance, I attended a big protest on the anniversary of WTO out at the ChevronTexaco refinery in Richmond, along with 400 people, and even though a police officer came and needlessly struck several people and pepper sprayed people who were milling around, and then falsely arrested a man for assault on an officer even though a video camera clearly showed that he had just jogged by within 5 ft of the officer w/o touching him, this only warranted 30 words in the newspaper. ChevronTexaco really needs fixing too - they have such a laundry list of flaws from having accidental plumes of toxins frequently coating Richmond, to aiding military squads in third world countries where they have gas pipelines. Maybe the Chronicle can print the phone number of the person accountable at Chevron each day until they stop.
