Most of the grief expressed in the passing of this local newsie has been self-congratulatory tripe that's mostly aimed at lamenting the demise of newspapers . . . HOWEVER, this worthwhile confessional takes a far more personal tone and offers a real world perspective on the last days of a professional covering the news. Checkit:
Mickey's Empty Seat
On Saturday, Jan. 6, our special projects reporter, Mike McGraw, passed away after a brief battle with cancer. "Mickey," as he was known, was 69. He came here to Kansas City PBS after "retirement" from a stellar journalism career. He won a Pulitzer Prize, our profession's highest honor, during his 30 years at The Kansas City Star.
Wonderful links like this are why I read TKC. Thanks, Tony, for posting.
ReplyDeleteMcGraw had more integrity in his pinky than a busload of Tony Botellos. A real journalist versus a forty something wannabe. Why would you pay this shitheel a compliment?
ReplyDeleteEasy, 3:06.
ReplyDeleteI praised Tony because he took the time to post the link, which I would never have seen otherwise.
It's a new year, 3:06.
Why do you read this blog, if you are so against, Tony.
Let's start a new year. Let's praise what we like.
