Romenesko Letters
The Chicago Tribune has published a weekly poker
column by
Steve Rosenbloom for over a year. "The Times new poker columnist,
James McManus, is from the Chicago area," writes Tribune managing editor
James O'Shea. "He told Rosenbloom that he cited the success of the Tribune's column when he pitched his idea to the Times. Rosenbloom and the Tribune were far ahead of the Times with the idea and the column. At the Tribune, we have a policy to give credit where credit is due. In this case, our policy seems to be the thing that is innovative."
