Missed It: Rob Tornoe On Big Changes At WPWG

I completely whiffed on this story from Rob Tornoe about a couple of major moves at the Washington Post Writer's Group, for a long time the solid second-tier syndicate behind the big three/now the big two. Luckily, they seem to be straight-forward stories. The first is an administrative combination of the WPWG and the Washington Post News Service with Bloomberg News, which should provide some administrative savings and perhaps create some weight behind a few of the product offerings that may have been seen to lack some force in the current market. The second is that they're going to work with the conservative editorial cartoonist Mike Lester, who will now to three cartoons a week for the new media group. It seems to me that there's a big surge of interest in conservative editorial cartooning offerings. That makes a certain amount of sense given the age of the Reagan Republicans, although I'm sure there are like 18 billion reasons why increased attention to such cartoons seems to be the case.
