Today my position of sports reporter at The Post-Star was eliminated by corporate. No hard feelings, it's a reality of our industry. Many thank-yous to the players, coaches and fans who talked to me and whose stories I could share. I hope we meet again.
I have professional news to share. I have accepted a job as a sports reporter with @dgazette / @dgazettesports. I begin March 1, and to say I’m psyched doesn’t do my emotions justice. Also, my new Twitter handle is @WLSpringstead, and I hope old & new folks will follow.
No she didn't. She tried to belittle the media, which is what she's done when she doesn't have answers to good or tough questions. We are reporters. We are not any of the occupations we talk to, but that doesn't stop us. And we are your voice.
As a writer, I could try to explain what Marylou Whitney meant to so many people and institutions, Saratoga Race Course especially. But some people leave writers without words, singers without notes, poets without meter. But when they think of them, they smile. RIP.
