Jay Drew to start reporting for the DN

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

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

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

IMO as much as I hate themwe still need the trib

I do agree

On the one hand, I agree. On the other, I wish they'd make more of an effort to

We need an opposing viewpoint because no one viewpoint catches it all

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

And why is that? What "good" do they bring to anyone? Anti-Mormons can get....

I’m a well know Trib basher. But I think having a paper willing to

That said, I don’t think the Trib fills that role well. Many of their employees

If only there was someone around to keep the NCAA honest.

StalwartBraveTrue

8/12/19 5:26pm

I agree. Need an opposing view with some journalism ethics.

Nope only if the market place says we do.

False. Evil lurks everywhere, not just in a worthless failing paper company

What about Dick?

Conan

8/12/19 2:00pm

Doesn't he cover the Provo paper or something? Good question though

Heinz57

8/12/19 2:00pm

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

CrimsonCardinal

8/12/19 2:27pm

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

CoachSpeak

8/12/19 6:11pm

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

CrimsonCardinal

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

Gurney isn’t the major beat writer, either. He covers recruiting and is the

He'll still be at Chuck a rama as usual

Maybe this is the mojo BYU needs. Jay leaving the trib for a better Newspaper

Mathew

8/12/19 2:00pm

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

mrphotogenic

8/12/19 2:00pm

The headlines definitely will

cougarmanguy

8/12/19 2:07pm

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

Richbyu

8/12/19 2:00pm

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

Indy Coug

8/12/19 2:03pm

Will be interesting to see how his reporting of things changes

whirl

8/12/19 2:00pm

I thought Jay was dismissed from the Tribune years ago.

BlueFever

8/12/19 2:01pm

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

Indy Coug

8/12/19 2:04pm

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

BlueFever

8/12/19 2:07pm

I think Harmon is winding down his career

JKLCoug

8/12/19 2:02pm

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

Turnpike Lane

8/12/19 2:02pm

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

Stringer Bell

There are only so many hamburger and police cat analogies one can make.

BGRTHNUMEGO

8/12/19 2:05pm

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

mannheimadler

Dick is a Columnist much like G. Monson

He'll be great.

Turnpike Lane

I agree. He’s very talented. I hope some of the angles and silliness

cougarmanguy

Agreed

One fewer reason to visit the Trib

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

Cougarclaw

8/12/19 2:15pm

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

I think Jay's a pretty good reporter. Will be interesting to see how the tone

Here's to the trib replacing him with an even bigger villan.

coug almighty

More likely they’ll just quit covering BYU altogether...

CoachSpeak

8/12/19 2:35pm

Leaving a sinking ship

BYU Grounds

8/12/19 2:34pm

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

CLCougar

8/12/19 2:42pm

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

SoCalCoug

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

It's like MSNBC covering a GOP convention

But does he have any plans to TRULY become LDS?

Not sure this is good for the BYU-Trib relationship. Drew is fair...nobody else
