Mike Nadel gone

[Disturbed]

I know he never wrote anything about BU, but I'm sure most of you read his work a couple days a week in the PJS. Personally, I was never a big fan.

As a Bradley fan, I never cared to read about anything other than Bradley. So I never read Nadel. And I no longer read the PJStar unless Reynolds gets linked on here.

To be fair to KW, he has written a lot in support of the Bradley Student Section at the games. So I give him credit for that. Not saying that anyone else has to

Troubled times for writers

Nadel might be the first of many cut-backs as newspaper readership declines in light of on-line, real time forums and news distribution. At some point this will hit home with PJS writers as well.

It hit home with the PJS writers long before Nadel was let go.

So will newspapers keep beat writers or opinion writers?

If the newspaper were just news, I might subscribe.

Nadel did his job well. He wrote to aggravate the readers. KW tries to immitate him and does a good job.

KW and Nadel are miles apart in terms of writing style.

I saw that columnist Jerry Klein wrote his final column today...

I like Jerry Klein

This was the unkindest cut of all. Jerry is a true aesthetic and great writer. His columns were the first things I read in the Sunday paper ... even before the BU articles/columns. His writings were always uplifting and on target.

All about the revenue

It's all about revenue. My theory is that newspapers will realize that people are increasingly getting their news on the Net and 24X7 t.v. coverage, and evolve into opinion / editorial / specialty papers. The real dinosaur is going to be the 10 o'clock news....who waits for the sports anchor to read the scores anymore??

Scouter, you told me a long time ago to say IMO, when I have an opinion. So that was my opinion.

And I've given mine.

And I've given mine.

That's my point.
