Brian Tierney Profiled in Philadelphia Magazine

This month's issue of Philadelphia Magazine includes what I think is a pretty interesting piece on Brian Tierney and the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Inquirer was long in decline before Tierney and his group bought it (and The Daily News). The percentage of original reporting in the paper has dropped dramatically over the years, and the quality of most of what runs in the paper (with some notable exceptions) is embarrassing for a major metropolitan daily newspaper. If anyone can drag the Inquirer into the 21st century, its likely to be Brian Tierney, whether you agree with his politics or not.
