Ted's pen may be mightier than his words

Plain Dealer Reader Representative Ted Diadiun kicked off his series of weekly chats this week on cleveland.com,. Among the topics Ted addressed in his initial chat was this teaserL

“Will The Plain Dealer merge with The Akron Beacon Journal?’

He has heard nothing about it lately, he says. He then talks about OHNO, the dumb, save money consortium of story sharing by 8 Ohio newspapers.

Click on the headline if you have time to listen to much dullness. Push about three fourths of the way on the progress bar to get to the couple of sentences on the teaser.

We liked Ted a lot better when we did not try to listen to him prattle on and on.
