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.</p> <p>Why was that, I asked?</p> <p>He acknowledged that his editors at the P-I may have helped made his work a little better. That doesn’t surprise me.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>I love the P-I.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em>Mike Benbow, <a href="http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20090119/BIZ/701199957/1005#Losing.the.Seattle.P-I.would.break.my.heart">Everett Herald</a></em>http://blog.nonewsisbadnews.org/post/71698277http://blog.nonewsisbadnews.org/post/71698277Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:28:12 -0800“We can’t afford to stand by and watch journalism in America melt away, a supposed victim of technological progress that is destroying a traditional business model. Not a day goes by when we don’t hear or read about the difficult if not dire straights of the newspaper business. I don’t pretend to have the answers, but we had better start asking questions and realizing that the loss of the P-I, among others, would be a staggering loss to our community and a direct assault on the American people’s right to know.”<br/><br/> - <em>Jim McDermott: “Don’t go down without a fight” [<a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/396439_mcdermott18.html">seattlepi</a>]</em>http://blog.nonewsisbadnews.org/post/71484873http://blog.nonewsisbadnews.org/post/71484873Sun, 18 Jan 2009 23:05:00 -0800<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/XHojdsvESit7nun2mdhoz8jOo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>A “planning wiki” is taking shape to help us sort out a few key matters for the town hall/forum-type event next month.
