Jason Salzman, who contributes a media column for the Rocky Mountain News, writes on his blog about a column he wrote that the newspaper did not run. The column addresses what Salzman says is a lack of coverage about the government’s potential role in the fate of the newspaper. Read the full blog post and column here.
On Wednesday, Rocky editor John Temple responded to Salzman’s blog post. Read the response here.
It’s clear Jason has good intentions to help find a way to save the Rocky. But the approach is wrong.
I have to agree with Rocky editor John Temple. This is really a miserable piece. Very poorly written. I think if anyone is missing the point here it’s Jason.
There is an irony here too. This piece epitomizes why real journalists, professional news writers and editors, can’t be replaced by freelance bloggers.
P.S. Jason, you have a grammatical error in your very first sentence.
