I carried on so with
that blog yesterday about
Sylvester Brown's tempestuous departure from the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch that I completely forgot to include some information about who will replace Brown as a metro columnist.
Editor
Arnie Robbins told me he's not sure if the paper *will* replace Brown. "Right now I am not even thinking about that," said Robbins. "That's something we'll have to think about."
Brown was one of a handful of African Americans in the
Post's
metro newsroom, and race was a frequent subject in his columns. Other African American columnists in other departments at the paper:
Bryan Burwell covers sports,
Kevin Johnson covers music and
Debra Bass covers fashion.
Meanwhile, we've come up with a few candidates of our own to replace Brown.
Check out our poll and vote for your pick. As of this posting, erstwhile
St. Louis American city editor
Alvin Reid has a slim lead over fictional
Onion columnist
Smoov B.
