It’s good to be a two-paper town
Perhaps you don’t like the Boston herald because of its tabloid mentality, or its right-wing (and not particularly interesting) editorial board, or the narrow range of news covered by the newspaper, but you should like the fact that the paper competes with the Boston Globe over city news. The last few weeks have given us several examples of how the two papers have brought exclusives or complemented each other on crime and other urban tensions. Kudos to both the Herald’s and the Globe’s city desks. Tolday, the Herald has a slight edge. It’s that Michele McPhee woman again. Anybody who knows of any reason for why the Globe wouldn’t extend her an offer next time there’s a relevant vacancy at the Broadsheet?
Update: There’s this, I guess.
(Odd headline, though, “Rape fear grips city,” when one of the article’s plot lines is that Competent Kathy’s department is a little stingy with acknowledging sexual assaults. I guess the headline writer didn’t read the article to the end.)
