Helping out

edit

I was just going to start a draft for Heath Freeman and encountered this. I'll help out. The Wall Street Journal ran a big feature on him today. Is it okay to type right into this draft? Novellasyes (talk) 21:38, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please feel free to go ahead! There’s plenty of sourcing on him to have a pretty extensive article. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 04:43, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
I've worked on the background facts of his life and haven't really gotten into trying to describe his role/approach/all the cost cutting at Alden. But it's a start. Novellasyes (talk) 18:44, 4 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

In 2018, The NewsGuild-Communications Workers of America called for Duke University to return donations from Freeman due to his history of cutting jobs of journalists.[1] Thriley (talk) 03:01, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
