Great column on business of state government draws readers
May 31, 2009
Sacramento Bee editor Melanie Sill writes Sunday about a regular column written by Jon Ortiz about state workers and the business of state government that’s drawing an increase in readers in the California state capital.
Sill writes, “Ortiz sees ‘The State Worker‘ as a service, too, and that illustrates how the Internet has helped forge or strengthen direct connections between individual journalists and their readers.
“The column gives voice to state worker concerns, but Ortiz is careful to keep his role clear: He’s there to inform, air issues and answer questions, but not to be an advocate.
“‘I’ve found that state workers aren’t looking for a cheerleader,’ he told me in the e-mail. ‘They want quick, accurate information and fair analysis of the issues they face.'”
