I'll take the (deflated) C+ and strive to improve. But at the risk of sounding weasely, the offending comment about radio being our "grandfather's technology" was directed strictly at the COM radio tower (which was the context of the interview) and not the medium. Not only am I a consumer of radio, but as editor of The Miami Herald I entered an agreement with the NPR affiliate to have my staff produce all its local news, which often airs on the NPR network. I considered radio an important extension of our journalism. As I learned to say as an altar boy, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa… I’ll take the (deflated) C+ and strive to improve.
