I find it extremely ironic that, with the sports section on a forced diet, photos of the sportswriters are printed daily. Meanwhile, the folks writing stories that actually affect your readers’ daily lives remain invisible.
You publish proudly every day that you’ve won the Pulitzer Prize, yet the folks who earned that prize are faceless.
I get it that it is a “tradition” to print sportswriters’ photos, but I won’t insult your intelligence to point out many examples of traditions that are long outdated.
Do the right thing and shine a light on all who work their butts off to keep your paper afloat.
