Editor’s Blog

Bob Hunter is the editor of the Mail Tribune and as such gets a whole lot of calls and e-mails about a whole lot of things involving the newspaper. This blog will give him (and other editors) a chance to discuss some of the issues that come up regularly as well as some of the crazy things that come at us from out of the blue.

Since he’s not here 24-7, other editors will also occasionally add their thoughts to the blog. Readers are invited to join in the conversation by posting their comments. If you have ideas for a topic you’d like to see addressed in this blog, e-mail it to bhunter@mailtribune.com.

The Shakespeare Blog

Bill Varble has been reviewing plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and off-Bardway since the late 1990s. He calls ‘em like he sees ‘em, from brickbats to shameless gushing and all the mixed-up stuff in between. He’ll see the OSF’s four opening plays of 2007 in three days starting Friday night and blog when he isn’t writing reviews. He often thinks of reviews as conversations — but one-sided. Now there can be real conversations, with readers clicking on the comment button at the bottom of the blog to join in. They can also e-mail Varble at bvarble@mailtribune.com.
