One of my readers suggested that since the Trib is going out of business anyway; they have nothing to loose by investigating and reporting upon the controversy on the school board over the scope of the upcoming audit.
It appears that the Journal's decision to keep stakeholders in the dark about the single most important and far reaching decision that the board will ever make, belongs to city editor Charlie Moore. At the Tribune, Bill Slakey is the city desk editor.
I have emailed him and asked him to reveal the identity of the person at the Trib who owns the decision that the Trib will not cover the story.
I'll let you know what he says.

Will the Tribune Close in a Blaze of Glory?

Probably not. Journalistic integrity is a thing of the past. If it aint posted by the AP - we'll never see it written. It's a shame. Why do journalists even go into this field, when they have no passion or intend to seek answers? Are they lazy or is the media bought and paid for leaving journalists with their hands tied about what they can report?
Ah, America the free! NOT
I'm thinking that the wave of the future is blog journalism; where you get paid by the hit (if you're trying to make a living at it) and you can write what you need to write.
I really don't suppose that decisions like the cover up, are made at the level of Charlie Moore and Bill Slakey. They're just flack catchers for the movers and shakers.
