Nathan Blackford new editor of the Westside edition. At first I thought it was just because he was new on the job. He took an article about the change of venue and turned it into a calendar item. Now I believe that 1. He doesn't know how to edit a newspaper section, and 2. He doesn't know that if he says something will happen that it ought to happen.
The long and short of it is that I took the time to bring a short article and the photos of the get together from April 9 down to the Courier Press and met the guy where he told me face to face that he couldn't get it in that Friday but it would go today. Well it didn't.
This isn't just some tea party. This is the largest gathering of any Reitz class for YEARS. If that isn't news worthy on the Westside, I don't know what is. He's filling grids with giant photos instead of running Westside news. There's a problem here. We're onward and upward - expecting a call from the editor in chief in an hour.
