I’ve craved a piece of original Cakespy art since the first time I saw Jessie Oleson’s dessert-centric work. It took until last month, though, when I saw this “goodbye Seattle P-I” piece, that I knew I’d made my pick. The framed original has a prime spot on the shelf by my home computer right now. But, in a piece of brighter news, what’s coming to my screen these days is the “Seattle Post Globe,” a new Seattle news site by former Seattle P-I reporters, photographers, editors, and (thank you, whatever deity oversees newspapers) copy editors. Along with names from the pre-shutdown P-I staff of 2009, I’m also thrilled to see the return of old colleagues like Jane Hadley and Neil Modie, who spent decades afflicting the comfortable, spurning easy PR answers in favor of digging out the hard truth, and generally working on behalf of the little guys — which I take to include all of us.
Read all about ‘em here. (And remember, if you’re looking for a P-I journalist whose name you don’t see there, we have a listing here of how to find them.)
I’ll always miss the old P-I, but when I see an invitation like this — “Let us be your advocates” — it makes me want to commission a new piece of happier Cuppie art.
This is awesome news! I’m excited to see the Post Globe develop. I will have to do a follow up piece!! :-)
