Two of the top people in their field are bolting to work for a TV station...
there are rumbles of dischord....and some say it's over the C-J's decision to charge people to see their online contributions, and yet not pass any of that revenue on to the writers.
"Sports departments at major market newspapers have long been after Bozich and Crawford, said one media source.
???Bozich is a superstar,??? he said. ???And Crawford is too. They??™re the two most popular columnists left at the CJ.??? Even if people
don??™t agree with them, they read Bozich and Crawford, he said. ???No one with any interest in sports ignores these guys.???
Another source called the duo ???superstar columnists who have intimate knowledge of UK sports, U of L sports and horse racing.
These guys are the real deal. If this is true, this has to be a blow to the Courier.
???You don??™t replace the kind of knowledge they have overnight.???
If Bozich and Crawford defect, it could be the biggest CJ story since Pat Forde left years ago..."
There are even rumors that basketball recruiting guru Jody Demling is also looking to bolt..
Does anyone know how our local writers feel about their material being kept behind a paywall by the PJS??
