That’s a great move for him as the trib is struggling financially.

I'll cheer when the Trib goes out of business.

The Trib can't die fast enough. It's a cesspool. SLC does need a hard news website.

Nope only if the market place says we do.

What about Dick?

8/12/19 2:00pm
Doesn't he cover the Provo paper or something? Good question though
Heinz57

He doesn't really "cover" BYU in the journalistic sense.

In other words “I don’t like anyone that says anything positive about BYU”

No, I just don't take him seriously because he always has a positive spin.

Dick is a columnist, not a beat writer. Jeff Call is the guy who has been on the

I wonder if the spin of his stories will change at all.

The headlines definitely will
cougarmanguy

Hopefully he will be allowed to have a more positive take, moving forward.

Well, he certainly won't have some hack editor making up needlessly provocative headlines for him

Will be interesting to see how his reporting of things changes

I thought Jay was dismissed from the Tribune years ago.

They had job cuts and he was let go and then was re-hired later on
Indy Coug

Ah, didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

I think Harmon is winding down his career
JKLCoug

He's been in wind down mode for a few years.

It seems like he's been writing the same column for the past several years.

He's not replacing Harmon. Dick is a columnist. Jay is a beat writer.

Dick is a Columnist much like G. Monson

I've been pretty critical of his BYU nay saying in the past.

If he can shrug off the Sltrib stain and quit searching for the touch of gray in every silver lining

With all his negotiating leverage, wonder why he didn't insist on package deal with GM?

Great move for both. I think Jay does a really good job.

Prepare for more articles void of optimism and full of negative.
