Tom Mangan is a copy editor (I think -- correct me if I'm wrong anyone who might know) at the San Jose Mercury News and ran one of the best blogs for folks who worked in a print newsroom. It was called "Print The Chaff" and it was funny, informative, and even inspirational. Some of the stuff Tom put up at his blog was sure to make you a better writer which, if you ask me, is the uber-mission of all great editors. [Check out Tom's collection of cliches that all writers should strive to avoid lest they get decidedly mixed reviews for their reportage, something that is my single biggest fear each and every day I go to work :) ] But today, Tom shut it all down. "I don't want to do this anymore. It's taking too much time away from people and other stuff I care more about. And besides, the place I'm moving to has only dialup access, and daily blogging at 33k is madness. I'd rather do this right or not at all -- that is, post every day and give the topic the time it deserves, rather than let it whither or fade into irrelevance. Burnout vs. rust, as Neil Young would put it." Tom, who I've never met but will be happy to buy beer for the day we do meet, will still be running his own blog. Good luck with that, Tom, at 33K, and thanks for Print the Chaff.
