The Republic is reporting that Phoenix City Manager Frank Fairbanks is retiring.
For two decades, City Manager Frank Fairbanks steered Phoenix through periods of unprecedented growth. His departure comes at a moment of unprecedented upheaval.
Of course, I reported the same thing on May 26th in The Morning Shot.
I'm still experimenting on the format and content for The Morning Shot, and I'm going to start sending out regular issues next week.
I've had a great deal of interest, and if you haven't requested a copy already, let me know if you are interested in being on the distribution list.
Ultimately, TMS will only be available by subscription, but I plan to keep it free at least until the fall.
Hey, you could let all the early adopters in for free, get your momentum going. That's what the guardian did. Just charge the lobbyists.

Greg Patterson's time and effort are worth paying for. Foo on the idea of charging the other guy!

Anyone see the Daily Show lambasting of the NYT?

The Arizona Republic also seems to be fans of 'Aged News'.
Most articles in the Scottsdale section about the city council or school board meetings appear 3 to 5 days after the fact.

I know this is a side not and you'll probably be blogging about Jeff Flake missing the Cap 'n trade vote today I'm not in his district ...but man is in for a hard run in 2010.
