    Sports editor, Athens (Ga.)

    I'm sure David wouldn't want me to do this, but I'm going to anyway. Ching is plenty qualified for this job. He's been in the business for close to 10 years. He's been covering UGA football for the last couple of years ... he had just moved to the Auburn beat. So he's got a very good feel for...

    'Black Wednesday' in Tampa

    I thank the intern for one thing -- setting the scene of that meeting. Other than that, seems like a typical kid who doesn't understand the scope of the situation. In school, you get to tinker and experiment and try new things. If they don't work, oh well ... just move on to the next class...

    Need an unbiased opinion -- is this really where we're headed?

    I understand that everyone's chasing dollars with their web sites. I know that revenues and circ. numbers are down across the board, and editors and publishers are feeling more heat than ever before. But this was the lead photo gallery in the Tallahassee Democrat today. (It gets interesting...
