Tony Ridder called
Rem Rieder last year to question this
AJR column mentioning
Brian Tierney's plan to invest in his new Philly papers. "Guess he was on to something," Rieder says of Ridder's skepticism. The Inquirer recently cut staff, and "the casualties included occasional AJR contributor
Natalie Pompilio, a talented, committed reporter who had covered Iraq for the Inquirer. She also was one of a handful who reported from dangerous, devastated New Orleans immediately after Hurricane Katrina. When this business starts laying off the Natalie Pompilios of the world, that's a truly bad sign."
