Congratulations to Dick Polman, the Philly Inquirer’s national political correspondent. The most recent pariticpant in Extreme Mortman’s feature “Blogs the Famous Media Reads” will soon become a full-time lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania, including a class in modern American political writing.
The Philly.com blog Bling reports Polman is in negotiations to continue writing for the Inky. It also ran this intriguing nugget:
“Polman said that Penn, where he has taught journalism for three years, approached him for a full-time position. The offer became more attractive, he said, after the The Inquirer’s fate became less certain. It is one of a dozen papers that McClatchy has said it will sell once it buys the chain from Knight Ridder.”
An Extreme mazel tov to Prof. Polman!
