For the past few years, my splendid business partner Terry Heaton and I have been continuing to write about the urgent matters facing local news. Terry’s as visionary as ever, as you can see at his PoMo Blog. I owe a great deal of thanks to AR&D President & CEO Jerry Gumbert, too. He supports the crazy ideas of the 2.0 unit and is the best pitchman you’ll ever see.

Still, the chance to come back to LR is too tempting. I started as “East Coast Bureau Boss” before becoming “Managing Editor.” Now, as “Editor,” I get to be even more controlling and egomaniacal than ever. Cory, God bless him, likes to be fair. I’ve never had that problem. We worked well together because I threw the bombs and he cleaned up afterwards. (Or, at least, let the rubble lie.)

I know that a lot of websites have come along over the years that now that cover the news. I think it’s terrific. The idea that we need to share has grown so far beyond what I imagined in 1999. I hope that we inject a new sense of urgency to the dialogue and that we will continue to get your support, your comments and your crazy ideas.
