Baltimore Brew has posted a new item, 'Laid-off by the Sun, journalists speak out on new wesbite'

Baltimore Brew has posted a new item, 'Laid-off by the Sun, journalists speak
out on new wesbite'

by FERN SHEN

As The Baltimore Sun's music critic, Rashod D. Ollison wrote bitingly and
brilliantly about a wide range of musical genres, praising the sublime and
skewering the schlocky with equal verve.

But it's safe to say Ollison never wrote anything quite as scathing and personal
as "The Invisible Black Homo Blues, reflections on my time at the Sun."

The essay was one of many in a new website released today, featuring
mini-memoirs, poems, photographs and other work by ex-Sun writers who got the
axe a year ago, when The Sun fired a third of the newsroom staff.

"Telling Our Stories: the Days of the Baltimore Sun" was sponsored by The
Writer's Guild, East Foundation, and implemented with the collaboration of the
Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild. Following last April’s massive layoffs,
ex-Sun writers were offered fellowships to "to tell a story arising out of their
personal experiences during their time at The Baltimore Sun."

And some of them really cut loose......

Article on Buzz Aldrin in the Baltimore Brew

Baltimore Brew has posted a new item, 'Aldrin tells Baltimore audience his toughest mission came after he returned from the moon'

By FERN SHEN

He may have earned a PhD from MIT, had a lovable Pixar space ranger named after him, recorded a rap video with Snoop Dogg and had the dubious honor of being interviewed by Ali G but, really, large parts of Buzz Aldrin’s life after he walked on the moon in 1969 were pretty crummy, the astronaut-author told a rapt audience Saturday at the 2009 Baltimore Book Festival. If only selling Cadillacs in Beverly Hills (unsuccessfully) had been the worst of it....
