I worked for Ann for a number of years. She was a wonderful boss and a good journalist. That bureau has good people to try and pick up the slack but at some point it becomes too much. Joe Biesk is a huge loss as well. I have no idea how the staffers there are able to keep going through all of this.

Blogs and the internets can’t fill in all the gaps, you’re right. At least not in Kentuckiana.

That IS bad news. The more we lose full-time reporters, the more the crooks and crazies can get away with. Blogs and “citizen journalism” help fill some of the gap, but not all. Take away the yellow journalism practiced by some, and the gap gets even bigger. Not good.
