Changing Roles

As has been noted elsewhere the News & Record is undergoing some changes in how we cover things. I'm somewhat included in that I'm moving from the High Point bureau to the Greensboro newsroom, where I'll be covering courts and legal affairs for the paper.

I start up there tomorrow, so this will be my last post on the High Point & Jamestown blog.

I'm sure some of you won't miss me, but I want to say thanks to everyone who has come by and read the blog. It's been a great learning experience for me and I hope people have found it useful. I'm hopeful that another News & Record blog might be in my future because I've enjoyed interacting with readers this way. It's hard to believe a year has already gone by.

Good luck in your new position. I think you've done a great job here.

Thanks NHP. It's much appreciated.

Jonathan,

Thanks, good luck and we'll miss you.

Of course, I think you'll find that there are many, many former NHP folks now living in Greensboro (thanks to Dot and company).

Will the blog continue or not?

Thanks Numbers.

I believe the blog will continue in the hands of the two reporters who are now working in the High Point bureau -- Kory Dodd and Sue Schultz -- with possibly some contributions from the reporters at the new community weekly paper that launches Sunday.

But I'm really not sure. I know the paper is also re-evaluating some of its blogs and thinking about possible new ones.

Thank you, Jonathan, for hanging in there.

You did a great job covering NHP and Jamestown.

Good luck in your new position.
