There is life after LANG! All of you, start filling out your applications for other jobs. Leave while you still have a bit of self respect.
Nah, stay, organize, complain, have more benefits cut, complain some more, have a flu day, etc.
No, leave, send out bitter emails at 11:30 in the morning.
marshall was an incredible success story. he came to the star-news from the news-press where he cranked out five briefs a day about small foothill communities. he had a masters in divinity and was a missionary at one point. by the time he left pasadena, he was a tenacious investigative reporter with a string of great stories. what a staff we had in those days.
Big Salute to Marshall and congratulations
Thanks for the comment, Bob. As you note, Marshall is not the only success story. Gene Maddaus is now a lead reporter at the LA Weekly and Cindy Chang works at the Times-Picayune. Sonya Geis now works at KCRW after a stint at the Washington Post.
don't forget Zahniser
Very true re: Dave Z. I only mentioned the people I was working with at the Star-News under Bob Rector who are still in journalism. I certainly don't mean to say that was an exhaustive list.
