“
A couple of weeks ago, I was looking at some newspaper clippings from a job candidate who had been an intern reporter at the P-I and later worked at the Spokane newspaper. You would have expected his work while still in college to be of lower quality in comparison to what he did later. But his P-I stuff stood out.
Why was that, I asked?
He acknowledged that his editors at the P-I may have helped made his work a little better. That doesn’t surprise me.
It’s a little early to be writing about the P-I’s demise. But things don’t look good. So I thought I’d better just say it while I still have the chance.
I love the P-I.
