It looks like the Tampa Tribune has finally started posting again to the Polk County News Blog. When it was helmed by Billy Townsend, the blog was an important part of the local news community. Whoever takes it over has big shoes to fill. (Just ask Joe Girardi what it has been like to take over for Joe Torre.)
So who’s the new reporter?
Jennifer Leigh. Not the poker player, that’s Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh. Not the actress, that’s Jennifer Jason Leigh.
It’s actually Lakeland resident and WFLA Polk County reporter and weekend anchor Jennifer Leigh.
There’s no indication on the site that Leigh is getting a job with the Tribune. So, I’d hazard a guess that the newspaper is getting her services as part of the WFLA and Trib “converged multimedia news organizations.”
You’ll find Leigh’s entry here: Polk Schools Dealing With High Diesel Costs
Bio: The short line? Father, husband, writer. My online presence is primarily through as the editor, writer, and occasional photographer for the news sites, Lakeland Local, a sampling of the news, concerns, and events for Lakeland, Florida, and Metro i4 News, which covers the Interstate 4 corridor in Central Florida. Both sites feature the work of myself and other contributors. As a hobby, I manage a forum and some web sites that feature a pulp fiction series written by Lester Dent -- Doc Savage Organized, Doc Savage Info, and Flearun.
