Quick Read

Kevin Joy’s “Facebook Fad Gets Personal” was well written…. And it should have been buried inside Life and Arts… Social Networking as a front-page story? John Futty’s story (metro front) on how Columbus wont actually own Columbus Commons and how the city doesn’t see crime as an impediment to the structure… that was a front page story…

Speaking of the Metro section, the Dispatch’s outstanding State of the State coverage continued, including an excellent piece on charter school impact… Joe Hallet’s column on Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice maneuvering was also solid…

Tim May’s profile of Duron Carter, son of former OSU Wide Receiver Cris Carter, was exquisite…. Equally exquisite, Tom Reed’s story on the Blue Jackets bludgeoning of Eastern Conference opponents… The article was informative and structurally sound…. Although, I had to laugh when Reed noted that the Blue Jackets are thought of as irrelevant franchise, who plays in a college football town… Why would opponents have that impression?
