I wrote a couple easy pieces since I’ve been at the Springfield News-Sun, which has been about a week and a half now. But this one was on a decently important subject, and I got some good information for it. The problem was that all my good information didn’t fit in a 10-inch story. I was worried they were gonna cut it by half because of space… but they didn’t!

Read it here.

It’s a good day for people who like to read. Sometimes I feel like the whole newspaper business (although not the News-Sun, of course!) is catering to those who don’t much like to read.

Can’t wait for the next several weeks. We’re really getting into some cool watchdog and investigative stuff.
