Ken, Don't hold back, really.
A guy I used to work with at the Daily Hampshire Gazette, Cosmo Macero, has become a columnist for the Boston Herald. Here that paper's top boss talks about the competition.
from Boston magazine:
Ken Chandler, the Herald's top editor, says: "The Globe isn't the first paper I read. And I can tell you it ain't the second or third, either. I regard reading it as one big chore." Another dig: "You get the feeling that if they cover a local story and they have to go into the neighborhoods, they're holding their noses." A quote he gave to New Yorker mag -- "If I produced a newspaper as boring as the Globe, I'd kill myself" -- is blown up on an 11-by-17 printout and hangs just outside the Herald men's room.
