Last Friday, our newest proofreader Atticus P. Titsworth – Sparkle's distant cousin – marched into my mom's basement with some sad news.
He had been offered a higher-paying job with KOKH Fox 25 and had to quit immediately.
Although we routinely out-scoop local news channels and can match them in online reach, name recognition, and engagement, we can't compete with their corporate pocketbooks when it comes to hiring people and paying actual salaries, so we had to wish Atticus well.
