But my old employer #Chron just won one, too, so it can’t be that meaningful 🤔

I grew up idolizing the #journalism in the #WashingtonPost (bc it was good) and the #houstonchronicle (bc I was local & didn’t know better) & I was working at #Chron when #Hearst gutted & castrated it & now I’m watching #WaPo plummet in quality/philosophy and…

Miami Heat forward returns to St. John’s for basketball camp | From the K. Cook Archive Originally published by the Houston Chronicle, Sports Desk (July 6, 2016)
