I don't agree with this statement from a prior post.
"Gwen Florio as the reporter or not, all of these stories of late would have been in the front page of the paper and that's not her fault - it's that of those who have created the need to write the article."
Many of the stories would not have even been written, ie JJ stories, had she not been around to write them. Multiple stories would not have been on the front page.
It is not the fault of the person who gets charged with a minor offense or even something he didn't do, like a dui, that the story is on the front page. It is the fault and bias of the reporter for making it a bigger story than it is, for the paper putting a racy headline on it and putting it further to the front from where it should be, and for the police/prosecutors pursuing and charging something that is smaller than what it gets charged with.
With Florio gone, there will be less front page stories discussing that a non-starter in basketball has plead not-guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct.
I could see the editor getting encouraged to move on sooner than later too.
