To those loyal readers who have spoken up about the Star-Telegram’s decision to cut box scores from the section, I hear you and my poor editor has heard from me. Multiple times.
I’m certainly not the newspapers ombudsman. That position probably got eliminated a long time ago or wasn’t filled when that person bolted the business, along with multiple other positions.
This is the latest sign of our newspaper times. Shrinking sections no longer have the room for agate (box scores, leaders, etc.), and if there were room, there aren’t enough people to compile them in addition to the massive workload they are already carrying.
