I've become more interested in both Style and the TD since the battle of the local news pieces began appearing last Spring. For example, reporters from both publications spoke at length with Sheriff Michelle Mitchell; reported on the proposed Performing Arts Center from the same angle, but with different opinions; interviewed Mayor Wilder, or those in his immediate camp, within days of each other; and yet, each publication has had an almost diametrically different slant on the stories. Naturally, some of this is timeliness, but I believe some is the publisher's or editor's choice (most likely on the TD's end, as Style seems to interview local VIP such as Williams and Wilder first.)
Perhaps the TD should also look into Mark Holmberg's recent incredulous columns covering the transgendered prostitute on the Northside--they read like "Trapped in the Closet" on the Richmond down-low. I'm not saying Holmberg is an unoriginal columnist, but lately, his point of view sounds a bit parochial. What happened to the peripatetic Holmberg?
