Stunning. Fleser was THE reporter of the LVs.

that's what happens when fewer and fewer folks read newspapers and most don't want to pay for online access.....................

A sign of the LVs' decline?

How ironic that with Rocky Top Nation all calling for Holly's head, Fleser's is the first to roll.

A sign of the LVs' decline?

UConn beat writers John Altavilla, Jeff Goldberg, and Rich Elliott were all laid off due to shrinking newspaper sales.

It's a loss to the sport. It bugged me somewhat that a hard question at a presser rarely came from Fleser, but that could be said of anyone in a Tenn presser.

Thank you to the Mods for editing my subject header. We used to be able to edit those but that function seems to be gone?

In one respect it is surprising because he's been there a long time and done a very good job. On the other hand it isn't- companies are letting older workers go because the savings in salaries & benefits is that much more than letting a younger worker go. It will be interesting to see if KNS hires someone new to cover the Lady Vols or rotates that assignment among the remaining reporters- and what KNS does could be an indicator as to what they perceive as the importance of the Lady Vols- are they still worthy of a dedicated reporter or no?

there are definitely editorial jobs available in the online world but probably not enough to make up for the print job losses............
