: Tim Cuprisin, 30 others leave Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
: Could he be headed here??
I'm sure you'd like to see it, but it never will happen. For one, and the other reply on this thread said it, the Madison market is a backwater compared to a Milwaukee (only 3 major TV outlets in this town, not to mention a radio roster of no major significance). What's more, with so many options and opinions on entertainment coverage online (TV, music, etc.), many newspapers no longer consider such entertainment critics a must-have on their staff. (You notice that Cuprisin wasn't the only JS staffer on an entertainment beat that was offered a buyout?) Probably the best avenue (and maybe the only avenue these days) for Cuprisin and his background and talents would be online, either through a site or blog of his own making or on an already established site.
