I know there are a lot of people in their state who don't appreciate those stories. I think maybe it would be hard to get an advertiser to sponsor that particular package, because the Klan sympathizers might retaliate against the advertiser -- in subtle ways, of course.</p> Yeah, I admire the News & Record for tackling Klan stories in North Carolina.

As a former N&R staffer who’s thrilled to see Jerry doing work like this, I’d like to see it pay off.

The real shame in Greensboro is that they’re doing the “right” things, and yet they’re dealing with a hostile readership that doesn’t appreciate Klan history being revisited and seems to care very little for the innovative work they’re doing.

I think the challenge we’re facing here is making quality pay. Otherwise, those four jobs listed in your earlier post about Las Vegas will be the first jobs cut.

You're right about pointing out the work with Mike Kernels. Mike would tell you that he's never worked so closely on a project with someone who exhibited as little ego as Jerry, which brought out the best in Mike. The perfect collaboration.</p> Jerry is a special talent, but everyone who wants to can do this. You’re right about pointing out the work with Mike Kernels.
