RAG

RAG, a group of former, mostly retired TD and  News Leader staffers, heard Gordon Hickey, Gov. Kaine's press aid explain on Thursday the ends and out being working for Kaine. He caught my attention when he remarked that TD stories coming the Capitol  are often incomplete and full of wholes. Hickey didn't fault the reporters who wrote the stories. He faulted editors who demanding no more than 10 inches on stories.

How often have you heard that the newspaper's Web page aims to give the reader a taste of what's in the paper and to send them running to there for more detailed  accounts. 

Several dozen former staffers attended the luncheon. It was fun picking out those who had left the paper with pink slips in hand. Wasson.
