 The media writer for the Boston Globe is Johnny Diaz and the media writer for the Herald is Jessica Heslam. I emailed both of them
 when the format change occurred. I've emailed Diaz before and he has replied to me, but he didn't this time. Heslam hasn't
 replied to my emails before and didn't this time. If they received and read these contacts, then they know about it, and MAY
 comment in the future. Apparently, the fate of a daytime AM radio station is not high on their to-do lists. I rarely look at the
 Boston Phoenix's website; I wouldn't be surprised to see some reaction there. I don't know if they even have media writer now.
 The last person to hold the job, Adam Reilly, decamped for WGBH-TV & Radio months ago.
