So do we start a pool on when the paper becomes a weekly?

Who left? Dave Perry, Nancye Tuttle….?
September 7th, 2010 at 9:29 am
I can’t believe they do anything good at all with such a skeleton crew…I really feel for the people who are left. Not to mention who they have to work FOR. Ug.
Kudos on whoever sticks around for their hard work; it can’t be easy.

They also lost Dennis Shaughnessy and Sharon Flaherty. Rumor has it that the exodus will continue. All four that left were prominent players at the Sun. The environment there isn’t very conducive to good journalism with a crazed editor and non-existent publisher.

If they “lost” Dennis Shaughnessy it must be because he gave his notice since there’s an article by him in today’s Sun.

Dennis Shaunghessy left to take a job with the Dracut schools and will freelance. Dave Perry is also gone.

It doesn’t say very much for the paper when the highlight of their weekend is an anonymous spin column. Not worth the two bucks, or whatever the price is. Three items about Lowell, one is usually false, one is spin and one is sowing a seed for a future story. I hesitate to call it a column, it’s more like a spasm, over before you know it. At least in the old days, the Saturday Snooze had a balance with Sully on Sunday, classic good cop-bad cop stuff to make it interesting. It appears that they’ve lost quite a bit off their fastball.

And yet another is leaving the Sun…the exodus continues….
