Robin, given your dislike of all things Gannett

Have you read Basket Case by Carl Hiaasen? The main character works for a family newspaper recently bought by a chain. He is demoted to obituary writer after he publicly humiliates the "soulless, profit-hungry owner of the newspaper" at a stockholder's meeting.

Great read.

Basket Case

I read three Hiassen novels on vacation last week.

Hiassen novels are great fun. That book sounds like it is right up Robin's alley . . . and a few others who walked away from the CL/LT in disgust after the Gannett takeover.
