One writer’s roots

The Blade and its sister paper, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, under the direction of Publisher and editor-in-chief John Robinson Block, are about to engage in an effort that, to my knowledge, has never before been tried in American journalism. We are, with the help of John Allison, Dan Simpson, and Joe Smydo in Pittsburgh, and my colleagues Wynne Everett, Tom Troy, and Will Tomer here in Toledo, going to merge two editorial boards, and to the fullest extent possible, two editorial pages.
