[BCNnet] changes in conservation writing in Sun-Times

[casresearch at comcast.net]

Two items regarding writing on Nature and Outdoor writing in the Chicago Sun-Times that are kind of disappointing.

1)  Gary Wisby, who wrote many articles on nature, and the environment, for the Sun-Times, is retiring/moving on to other things.

2)  The Sun-Times is considering dropping the Sunday Outdoor Column and news and notes, and only running it on Wednesday.   Although Dale Bowman columns cover a lot on hunting and fishing, he also has devoted many columns and news/notes items on Chicago Wilderness, issues at local Forest Preserves and environmental columns.    It would be disappointing to have it run only once a week, with probably even fewer columns devoted to issues that the BCN (and CW) are interested in.

If you have an opinion on that, it may be voiced at inbox at suntimes.com or by calling (312) 321-2663.

Thanks,
Alan
