| David Sirota e-mailed me last night with great news: The Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester picked up column and he will be making regular appearances in their op-ed page.
Here is the official announcement from the D&C:
For the past couple of months, we've been occasionally running David Sirota's syndicated columns on the Editorial Page. Readers have responded favorably with letters, phone calls and emails. They like what he has to say and the way he says it.
As a result, we're adding Sirota to our stable of regular columnists. Sirota, as anyone knows who reads him, is a progressive who isn't shy about telling readers exactly what he thinks. He currently appears in newspapers such as the San Francisco Chronicle, The Seattle Times , The Idaho Statesman and the Denver Post, with a combined circulation of more than 1.3 million.
We believe Sirota will be a strong addition to our diverse selection of columnists who appear daily on the Editorial Page.
Let me know what you think: Jlawrenc@democratandchronicle.com
David wanted to thank all of you who supported the effort and commented or e-mailed to the D&C asking them to run his column on a regular basis. And for good measure, he said he will do his best to make the movement proud.
We, along with our friends over at Rochester Turning, have been pushing for David's column to be included in the D&C full-time. The D&C needed to expand its horizons and become more diverse. Today's decision did just that.
Sirota's column did appear in yesterday's D&C, which was a sign that something was in the works. So if you are in the Rochester area and subscribe to the D&C, you have something to look forward to reading in the op-ed section. |
