There are some wonderful people at the Republic, Crotchfelt got rid of many more and kept those who made her feel good.

The NYTimes, NPR, Fox all had interviews with the Pima Community College math professor who had problems with Jared Loughner, the alleged gunman. The Republic still hasn't talked to the retired Army Colonel who, after a bullet grazed his head, helped wrestle the gunman to the ground. <br /><br />The Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099437767970534324.post-20129983689067019322011-01-13T13:00:00.172-05:002011-01-13T13:00:00.172-05:00What difference did it make to the coverage in AZ....What difference did it make to the coverage in AZ.? The Republic has done an outstanding job of covering the tragedy without the bureau. They mobilized a team and have not missed a beat. There is very little in Tucson that impacts Phoenix so why have a bureau there?

Originally assigned to Nogales, Ariz., she and her editors agreed that it made more sense for her to be in Tucson because of freeway access, access to officials, etc. She moved to Tucson and stayed there until she left for HoustonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
