Columnist and reporter Shay Totten will reportedly be leaving is position at Seven Days, and has accepted a position at his previous employer, Chelsea Green Publishing, in a new Burlington office.
Like his predecessor Peter Freyne, Totten has held a unique position in the Vermont media, playing the role of both straight-up journalist and columnist in the same paper. Fellow reporter Andy Bromage, a relatively recent addition to the 7 Days staff, has filled in for Totten on his “Fair Game” column on several occasions, making him the safe bet for a full-time replacement on that widely read regular feature.
Good luck, Shay. Have fun.
although not as In your face or up your arse as Peter was, Shay did a good job of asking the questions that needed to be asked. With the HUGH reduction in print media coverage of government in general and the statehouse specifically, and the constant lack of any depth in any form from WGOP, the public right to know is just a little farther down the tubes. Maybe his substitute will prove to step up his investigations, or grab some guts…..
good luck Shay…
we have no surplus of good reporting; thanks to shay for shining a real light.
