How's this for loyalty? Lee Enterprises canned the reporter who took a bullet while covering the city council meeting in Kirkwood in which resident Cookie Thornton shot and killed five city officials.

KWMU Update
The Riverfront Times has updated it's readers on KWMU.
The alternative newspaper wrote last spring about the management "style" of former GM Patty Wente. The article helped to drive her from the position after an investigation was launched by the University of Missouri which owns the St. Louis NPR affiliate. Since then Tim Eby has taken over as the boss of the station which resides on the UMSL campus.
The latest RFT article also reports KWMU with it's highest ever rating in the fall Arbitron book.

Trouble at a Local Radio Station
The purpose of this blog is to provide a forum for criticism of the news media (especially the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, hence the name "The Anti-Post").
But, the Post isn't the only newspaper in the St. Louis area. The Riverfront Times is the local "alternative" paper. This week it has a critical article about the St. Louis NPR affiliate's general manager.
