So, this morning's news on her blog hit us like a ton of bricks.
From Frances' blog post today:
A short goodbye
Dear all of my blog-readers, This will be my last post on this Vancouver Sun blog, as I have resigned from the paper.
I wanted to tell all of you, as I go, how much I have enjoyed this new form of telling you the news and how great it has been to interact in a completely different way with a crowd of intelligent, engaged and well-informed people. I don’t want to say “readers,” because that implies you are passive and the thing I love about the blog is that you’re not – you post comments and email and phone and let me know in person about other information I should have or your critiques of what I’ve written – so it’s more like a conversation where you learn from me and I learn from you.
_______________
As for me, I will be continuing with other forms of journalism, including blogging, but, unless there’s an unforeseeable turn in my life in the next few years, I won’t be embedded in a daily-news operation any more as I have been for the last 25 years of my life.
Thank you so much for being a great audience and I’ll see you elsewhere.
We're gonna miss you, Frances.
As the post title above states:
"This sucks . . . . "
