Jenny DeHuff (seen in the below photo), the new editor of Philadelphia Weekly - where I write the Crime Beat column - offered an introductory piece:
I assumed the new role
as editor-in-chief of Philadelphia Weekly. When the publication launched
AltPhilly, Philadelphians made it apparent they wanted a more contrarian
viewpoint to be part of the conversation, and Philly Weekly surpassed its fundraising
goal.
So, I’m excited to lead
this new charge as editor because I think we need a fair voice of reason in
this city. The Philadelphia Inquirer axed all their conservative columnists,
from Stu Bykofsky (for whose last day of work I was present) to Christine
Flowers. Most columnists in the city are screaming so loudly into the liberal
echo chamber that there is hardly anyone hearing anything from the other
side.
That’s why I think PW’s
decision to switch makes sense. Right now, content coming from our local news
outlets is largely redundant and people are being led by the nose. We want to
change that. The paper can now offer readers a platform where conservative
perspectives can challenge liberal ones. Here, there is room to share ideas,
debate and learn.
