A strange firing
I have mentioned Julia Duin on this blog several times. She did a terrific job as an objective reporter for the religion section of the Washington Times. About two weeks ago I noticed the Times web page had undergone a redesign and I could no longer find the clickable button I used to navigate to the religion page so I could catch up on her writing. She always covered stories that were relevant and usually they were ones few others had caught. I called the Times to ask where it was currently located and the woman on the other end said she would get back to me as soon as she had an answer. I didn't hear from her (though she kept up the subterfuge long enough to ask for my number) so I went searching the web. Turns out (you'll notice my references to Julia at the Times were past tense) Julia had been unceremoniously fired. You can read about it here .
I wish her the best - it will be a fortunate news outlet that gets her not inconsiderable experience and superb writing skills.
