That's kind of what they have been doing even before Rose's retirement. The four staff guys do all the pages, and the four part-time guys - Allmann, Equels,Perrotto and Chiapazzi - write all of the stories and cover all of the events. The only staff guy who regularly writes is Bires, and only during Steeler season.

There's your problem right there. Why does it take 4 to do pages? Not with the technology available.

Well, you can only work 40 hours in a work week. Then there are days off/vacation. And then you have those guys covering events, too. If the Times isn't replacing their departed sports editor, then it doesn't sound like they're too keen on people racking up OT either.

From the sounds of it, you're suggesting no pro coverage and only a couple local stories per day in the section. So, what, run AP/McClatchey/Tribune/Reuters wire crap?

What's the point of even having a local paper with that mindset?

Yep. All local. Now put your unique product on the web and sell it.
