Commentaries on Bob Greene resignation
Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Greene resigned last week after revelations that he had once had sex with a teenage girl whom he met while reporting a story. Greene had been with the Tribune for 20+ years and specialized in treacly human interest stories. I didn't bother posting the original news item, because the public sexual humiliation of third-tier celebrities doesn't interest me much. But several interesting commentaries about Greene's forced resignation have appeared since: blog entries by John Scalzi and Tony Pierce, a barrage of letters at Jim Romenesko's Media News, and a followup article at the Chicago Tribune itself.
