DAVID BROOKS of the Nashua Telegraph (not the Times columnist) sent me this note: I was recently handed a piece of paper congratulating me for working 27 straight years as a reporter and/or copy editor in my papers newsroom - a document that I suspect is going to be pretty rare in the future. This led me to wonder: Who is the longest-serving newspaperperson in the country? That is, who has worked the most continuous years in the newsroom of the same publication as a full-time reporter or line editor? No upper managers, no ombudsmen or academics, no columnists who wander in once a week with their submission, no freelancers churning out copy from their home. And I dont mean people who have moved around to a lot of papers. Im looking for a rock-clinging barnacle like me - whos the biggest newsroom barnacle of all? ANY NOMINATIONS?
