Gary Dymski, an alum of Dearborn Fordson and Wayne State, checks back in today from self-exile on Long Island to note in a Metro Times letter that it's 15 years [[next Tuesday) since the start of "a conflict that reshaped the landscape of the city's dailies."
I knew Gary slightly while he was a News sports copy editor and writer, and admire the passion of his recollections. There's no "right" or "wrong" about those sentiments, by definition. And I join him in not wanting to "rehash the issues."
One point by the Newsday home improvement writer certainly didn't take a decade and a half to come true . . . and should bring nods of agreement from any strike veterans:True that.The city lost many great journalists in the strike and its newspapers were never the same.
His is the third letter here. And yes, Redfordette: This one's for you.
