“I’m grateful to the editors who took a chance on a green young reporter years ago, who gave me the freedom to grow and develop as a columnist, who caught my mistakes and fixed my clumsy prose.
David Nicklaus, the business columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, is retiring from writing his regular column though he still plans to contribute a semi-regular column.
Nicklaus writes, “This is my last column as a full-time journalist, although I intend to continue contributing semi-regular columns to the Post-Dispatch business page. As I close out a long career I feel nostalgic, fortunate and proud but mostly grateful.
“I’m grateful to the editors who took a chance on a green young reporter years ago, who gave me the freedom to grow and develop as a columnist, who caught my mistakes and fixed my clumsy prose.
“I’m grateful to the sources who helped me sound smart and the colleagues who make the newsroom a workplace unlike any other. It’s been a crazy, unpredictable, sometimes maddening but ultimately exhilarating place to spend a working lifetime.”
