Good change. I always thought B.G. was kind of negative.

I posted something in the Pub about the writer from the Pittsburgh Gazette starting his own site. Made a lot of sense and I think that's where it is going. Independent voices.

One of the most poignant things he said about newspapers (which I relate to as an outsider looking at it as a business person) is when he talked about how someone like Bill Gates would react when he heard that 40% of the paper's readership was due to the Steelers and saw a staff meeting with 300 journalists working for the paper... "Which 40% of you write about the Steelers?". That's the problem. And that's why independent voices for sports work: you're taking the most (only?) profitable part of the newspaper's organization and only focusing on that.

I'd like to see Kiszla leave The Post and start his own web site. :lol:

Haha. I think it needs to be someone in his 40s or maybe 50s. At that point, you've built up 20 years of trust with a large readership but you're also young enough to be more nimble with the market and technology trends.
