'Bottom-up' journalism from the pros
June 6, 2002
• Today's weblog
R.I.P. Caroline
Knapp: The
Brown graduate and columnist for the Boston and Providence Phoenixes dies at
42 of complications from lung cancer, two months after diagnosis. Here's the
Phoenix
obit. The AP
obit is shockingly crass:
"Knapp
was an Ivy League graduate and successful journalist who by all appearances
had her life in order. But underneath, she was filled with the lies and self-loathing
that come with addiction."
Did AP know her
intimately enough to state that as fact? Is somebody projecting here? Geesh!
Write your own obit now, before somebody who never met you smugly dismisses
your life.
