Editorial and op-ed pages were moved back to the last two pages of the A section today and the nameplate of the Local & Opinion section has changed to read simply 'Local."
Managing editor Mizell Stewart announced the changes in an A3 column on Sunday thusly:
"Starting Tuesday, the pages formerly occupied by the editorial and commentary pages will be devoted to local news, anchored by t ne Community News page on B3.
"The Community News page will provide a quick read on local news and events, with short items from communities throughout our area. It will be the place to turn to find out what happened at last night's council, school boatrd or township trustee meetings.
"In additon, you'll find a visual glimpse of daily life in the region as captured by our award winning photo staff."

ReplyDeleteLead as in read is a verb as well.
Except when you want to tell someone, perhaps an editor, to get the lead out
