The Blade now shares offices with its sister publication, <i>The Capital</i>, so the staff is even further removed from the community. And when you're out of the community, there's a lot of things that can get missed. The old staff also had more contacts at city hall, and current coverage of city government and local politics isn't what it used to be.Bowie Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656054601003840365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213706437407065905.post-10120263248302016522009-09-18T21:40:00.524-04:002009-09-18T21:40:00.524-04:00This is why newspapers are so scared.
