From the supplier: The practice of having an ombudsman as a liaison between the public and the increasingly corporate world of newspaper publishing has been in existence since the Louisville Courier-Journal hired the first one in 1967. Since then however, very few US or Canadian papers have followed suit. Many editors think of the position as unnecessary despite statistical evidence that the public is happier and less likely to pursue other forms of action if an ombudsman is in place. Ninety-seven percent of newspapers do not employ ombudsmen.
