'Explorer' Owner Bids for EV Tribune

Posted by Jimmy Boegle on Thu, Nov 26, 2009 at 10:19 AM

Could the owner of the Explorer really be the East Valley Tribune's savior?

Ray Stern of the Phoenix New Times has some thoughts.

My thought? Randy Miller, the Explorer's main owner dude, may indeed save the Trib in some form, but it's worth noting that when he arrived in metro Tucson, the Explorer had somewhere in the area of 9 to 11 people in the newsroom. (The exact number escapes me at this moment.) There are now three or four in the newsroom.

Explorer editor Dave Perry's done a great job with what he has ... but he doesn't have much.

Actually there are two full-timers in the newsroom, Photographer/writer Randy Metcalf and Oro Valley reporter Patrick McNamara. Dave Perry writes a great deal. And stringers and contributing columnists add some copy.
