Comments on: Mittelsteadt moving to McMurry http://www.valleyprblog.com/agencies/mittelsteadt-moving-to-mcmurry/ A (dry heated) group blog from Phoenix, Arizona on public relations, marketing and social media Mon, 22 Aug 2011 21:48:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sam http://www.valleyprblog.com/agencies/mittelsteadt-moving-to-mcmurry/comment-page-1/#comment-6369 Sam Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:40:02 +0000 http://www.valleyprblog.com/?p=1304#comment-6369 Thank you for the kind comments, both here and via e-mail. Moving out of newspapers after 20 years was an intimidating decision but I am sort of blissful here at McMurry during my honeymoon period. We have "free food Fridays"! (It's the thoughtful little things that make me so giddy.) Please keep in touch with any suggestions for the Trib style coverage. I know many people might wonder when it will fall off my radar -- but as long as they keep paying me for it, I'll be happy to keep writing about it! Best, -sam Thank you for the kind comments, both here and via e-mail.

The paper is trying a team approach to features coverage – Julia will be the person who handles story idea creation and visuals, while other people will handle line editing, freelancers, finances and the like. I’ll still be writing style articles for the Tribune on a weekly basis – everything from Great Stuff columns to What’s in Store features (and the blog, too). The only thing that changes as far as that goes is my contact e-mail: from the imaginatively chosen smittelsteadt@evtrib.com to the imaginatively chosen smittelsteadt@hotmail.com.

Its really a shame to see the paper go so far downhill. And most people arent necessarily leaving for much better jobs. tho, it looks like Sam is.
