KEN FUSON NOW CAN ADVANCE TO 'BLOGGER'

August 19, 2008

Des Moines Register columnist Ken Fuson once had this to say about blogs:

One of the unexpected benefits of the Internet, other than the ability to look really busy at work while filling out your NCAA tournament brackets, is that people can design their own personal Web sites and then report and comment on the big issues of the day as often as they want. These are called blogs.

This has proved to be a boon to people who apparently are (A) unemployed, (B) independently wealthy, or (C) no longer content to wait on hold to get their daily fix of attention from a radio talk-show host.

The Des Moines Business Record e-mail bulletin reports today:

Jerry Perkins and Ken Fuson have asked for and received buyouts from The Des Moines Register, according to a memo from Editor Carolyn Washburn and Managing Editor Randy Brubaker to the newsroom.

The story says Mr. Fuson's last day will be September 5. That means his first blog post could come as early as September 6.
