After entering The Globe's Morrisey Blvd. building, the demonstrators asked to speak to Globe editor Thomas Winship and demanded that The Globe print a PLP statement denouncing the coverage of the murders on the first page of its Sunday edition...
...time which seems to foster a broadening of perspectives for many Niemans works advantageously both for those who go into newspaper management as well as those who continue as reporters. Carol Liston, formerly a weekly columnist for The Boston Globe and now assistant to Globe Editor Tom Winship, says that her year as a Nieman ('71-'72), "dramatically changed the way I looked at journalism." As a columnist, Liston said she focused primarily on issues of governmental reform. She has not written a column since Harvard and says that she is now much more concerned with the direction...
...staffers mutter about low salaries and heavy work loads but find brief reportorial stints stretching into lifelong careers at what they call "the tender trap." It has also been described as "40 freelance writers working under the same roof and (by Boston Globe Editor Tom Winship) as the best newspaper "of its size in the country."

While the Globe encourages such provocative debate and has been vehemently antiwar-it printed portions of the Pentagon papers which it obtained independently-Winship has no grandiose ambitions to make the paper primarily national in its coverage or concerns. In fact, the Globe is often spotty even in covering New England, and too rarely assigns reporters out of the state. Winship wants to change that, "to turn the Globe into the best regional paper in America." Given the state of New England journalism, achieving that goal would be a major contribution...
