Without Sullivan and Gleason, what's left to read in the Buffalo News?

$$$?

You are doing it wrong. Very wrong.

 

Graham is still there, and yes -- he's excellent.

 

Was he fired? He must be one of the last remaining turf writers.

 

Gene knows his stuff (and is a good guy as well), but the turf writing isn't his full-time job.

This is a big problem with newspaper sports sections right here, editors making the same paint-by-numbers resource allocation decisions as they always have. Spending thousands of dollars for a dateline on a game story while the Athletic spends money on talent that can give people something they actually want to read.

 

It's possible - I don't know this - that he's providing the byline for all BH properties, and, because the News doesn't have AP copy, the juice is worth the squeeze.

 

I don’t believe he was fired. There’s still plenty of turf writers, just not at newspapers.

 

That happened at the paper I worked at. Eight years ago.

 

You mind saying what paper? I know that Gannett has some absurd jobs now that INCLUDE being sports editor.

 

It was a small daily in what was then the Media General chain. They eventually did give a remaining sports writer the title, but went without an SE for in name and salary for a while.
