Mizzougrad, you have no idea what you're talking about with that crack about Schad breaking more news. In fact, as someone who tracks this stuff with college football, I bet he's been wrong on more stories than he's broken. And he was wronger than anyone on this. Said it time and again —...

Being a Charlotte native, I still subscribe to the paper by mail. Why, I have no idea. It is a truly wretched section — most of the writing (except Tysiac), the odd news judgment decisions, the layout, all of it. The department has been hurt by layoffs — and by having to run the Raleigh paper's...

I think the "one of the worst big city papers" is overstating it with the AJC. For a while there, every other post was about someone leaving that paper, which had a whole lot of talent. Someone more in the know than I can rattle off the departures but I know it includes some really good writers...
