Supposedly, his last day was June 1, 2009 but it seems from appearances on local cable TV shows that he may still be employed there. I'd simply refer to the FJ's Contact Us web page, but it is hopelessly outdated. It still lists zillions of editors and reporters who long ago were forced into early retirement or jobs at the local Halo Burger.<br /><br />Odd for a paper moving largely to an online entity, huh? One starts to wonder if they purposefully leave the page as-is to give the appearance of being a far bigger enterprise.<br /><br />Anyway, I'd call the FJ for an answer to my question but I don't need to speak with Foren or anyone else still there; I was hoping for an answer here from someone in the know.<br /><br />Foren's published statements about his supposedly imminent departure have spun it into an ambiguous yet upbeat, voluntary situation. My point is that I believe he would stay indefinitely if given a reprieve. So ... it begs the question: is this indeed what occurred? It sure seems like he's still there and I know June 1 is history. And if not Foren, whom is the new editor??? Did I miss something?<br /><br />Obviously, this all cries out for an update on FL newsroom management ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
