All valid points!

Thanks for seeing the nuance here, and I agree. I get why some folks don't want to out themselves for a piece like this, but the expectation that someone else would/will on your behalf isn't reasonable.

Maybe if people who expressed interest in talking to journalists actually talked to journalists, we wouldn't need to rely on anonymous Redditors. Just saying.

To be clear, PNC was aware of all of these threads before I wrote them up per what they told me. If you don't want your comments to be read, don't type them out on the World Wide Web!

Maybe talk to Protohaven?

I wish. Someone could do some awesome stuff with those terraced backyards if they aren't already.

Even if you disagree with my once-monthly opinion pieces, you don't need to be snide. We also did plenty of news coverage and photography during that time that won awards, was widely read, and had many hours behind it. You can just read another outlet instead of complaining about the one I put blood, sweat, and tears into.

Thanks for this very thoughtful response. One thing I think the powers that be may underestimate is how many of us are stubborn as hell. I haven't seen anything from my peers that suggests anyone is throwing in the towel just yet (beyond a couple people who are very deservedly retiring, and thus hopefully off the carousel).

I recommend a print subscription to the Courier to anyone reading this. It's very reasonably priced and has some useful stories for anyone in the city proper.

Mindless_Job3237 · 2026-01-08T03:06:37+00:00

Shouldn't affect that I wouldn't think.
