No One is Covering the Sound

Someone at the Long Island Sound Citizens Summit the other day told me that my old employer, the Journal News, no longer has anyone covering Long Island Sound. When the transportation reporter left a couple of months ago to take a job with the county Health Department, the paper simply moved the Sound reporter into her slot.

I'm pretty sure that means that for the first time since I started covering the Sound more or less regularly, in 1985, the Westchester papers have no Sound reporter. Sad.
