They've been gradually easing up on Dick Harmon's responsibilities as a beat writer with Jeff Call and Jim Rayburn taking on the football and basketball responsibilities respectively. I don't know how much longer Dick plans on being in the newspaper biz.
I've been annoyed with the DesNews since last May when messed around with their politics desk and reassigned Bob Bernick and Lee Davidson. Davidson did have a great article yesterday on a Human Trafficking issue at Circle 4 farms in Milford. I like Matt Canham at the Trib well enough, though.
If the church is getting out of the news business, how long before it decides to get out of the higher education business too?
Help me understand how these two issues are related.
Newspapers are folding everywhere. This is not at all unique to SLC or the DesNews.
It made me sick when they hired Joe Cannon. Maybe the ship was going to sink regardless, but he seemed completely unqualified.

Robin's post does raise a good point, by the way. When your job is to provide a certain service, and your devotion to a certain way of thinking causes your ability to provide that service to suffer, it's time to rethink something. Sometimes, the answer will be to get out of that line of work. More often, the answer will be to re-evaluate your modus operandi.
I personally believe that the commandments are, generally speaking, a guidebook to success. If keeping the commandments prevent you from succeeding in a certain venture, it is altogether appropriate to entertain the possibility that your idea of how to keep a certain commandment needs some readjusting.
The newspaper seems to have forgotten that its job is to keep its subscribers informed of world events, not just to provide favorable press for the church. If BYU ever forgets that its mission is to provide its students with a world-class education which will prepare them to contribute to the world's work force, you can expect it to crumble as well.
