Crain's Bill Shea has pointed give-and-take with another journalist

Found this column by Crain's blogger Bill Shea on some Michigan Citizen charges against the Detroit Free Press and its coverage of soon-to-be former Detroit Councilperson Monica Conyers.

The story is one thing, but the comments back and forth between Bill and the subject of his story is also good reading.

    You know, I don't think I really fully appreciated the power of paragraph spacing until now.

    WAPO is really reaching out for revenue.

    That's using "journalist" in the broadest possible way.

    Scrappy alternative papers have a valuable place in the community. Unfortunately, they usually attract zealots and conspiracy theorists like Bukowski, who are more concerned with picking fights with the "establishment" paper than doing real reporting. I must have been getting my Diprivan IV when her name was called during the Pulitzer announcement.
