Watching a person texting while driving on the way in to work this morning reminds me that I’m supposed to tell you that News Cut is now available on your mobile phone. It’s only coincidence — trust me on this — that this breaking news comes at a time when I’ve been considering getting rid of my cell phone and going back to the old days.
Here’s an information page on it. Let me know how it works for you.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
