Congratulations
Excellent!
Good move
Scott's a savvy news guy - good choice by the Sentinel; congrats, Scott!
KNS Decision
I agree that this is a smart decision by KNS. Good luck Scott!
Thanks
Thanks, folks. I'm excited about the new job.
Scott Barker
KNS
So, do you still cover
So, do you still cover TVA/environment, county government/politics/elections, law enforcement and courts, and sit in as the occasional night desk editor? Do you operate the presses, too?
Just kidding. Except, hope you got a raise for doing the work of ten people.
Barker is the Man!
I've dealt with KNS reporters in one capacity or another since January of 1991. Scott is one of the very, very best. Big brain, short fuse, granite-like integrity and a great sense of humor. Congratulations Scott.

Congratulations!
Congratulations Mr. Barker! One of my very good friends was bragging on you just today and he says you are a fine writer and a good person.
The only thing bad about this
The only thing bad about this is it takes Barker off the news desk where he has been doing excellent work. I look forward to seeing what his sharp eye for issues will do for the editorial page.
Congratulations, Scott. But,
Congratulations, Scott.
But, but, but who's going to cover the hard stuff?
