Default Reduced NEP coverage? No more Reiss?
Times announced they are closing the Boston Globe if they dont get union concessions. What would happen to Boston.com and our friend Mike Reiss? He has been my favoriate source of reliable info on the NEP

Hopefully the Patriots would pick him up and give him some web space to continue his job.

Well Boston.com would likely still be up and running. Perhaps Reiss would still blog for them?

I know one thing, I will NOT rely on the Herald for Patriots news.

I think this is a negotiation ploy more than a real threat. The Times will sell off the Globe for pennies on the dollar before they just close the thing down.

Besides, considering the following that Reiss has in this area, either the ProJo or Herald would snap him up if he was suddenly unemployed because the Globe was shut down.

Think the Globe will continue, if they do not it may be our loss.. the Pats already have a newspaper staff.. Paul Perillo et al...do not know if the salaries are comparable or not to make it worthwhile for Reiss.

Reiss started as a blogger. He'd be the last guy to be left out in the cold in the new media order.

He was working at the Patriots as a writer with Patriots Football Weekly as well, Reiss is good people and will end up doing well for himself - My only concern is that if this does happen - He could be hired by another paper outside the NE area to be a beat writer for the local team.

Mike has already been at Patriots Football Weekly, I'm sure he does not want to go back and I'm sure the salary is no where near what he is making currently - However all those jobs are "subsidized" by the appearances they do on TV and Radio.

Of course, when faced with no job - Peoples outlook on what is and what is not a good job can change quickly.

Ouch. That's a real risk.

Yep. The information ecosystem gets ever more complex.
