Word is that former Stephens Media Washington bureau reporter Aaron Sadler — who also did time at the Little Rock Capitol Bureau, the Times Record in Fort Smith and the Jonesboro Sun — is hanging up his reporting hat to take a post as spokesman for the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.
You may recall Sadler was one of the young fellows unceremoniously axed by Stephens in late October, when the streets ran red with the blood of reporters. And thus another young journalist abandons the profession for more verdant fields.
It’s been a few years since I’ve worked at a newspaper, but I can imagine that these days it’s kind of like being on foundered ship that’s sinking very, very slowly, and every once in a while you see one of your shipmates make a break for it and swim for land, and wonder, “When will it be my turn?”
