A serious journalist …

… John Ramos ramps up his edgy journalism with Duluth Monitor - Perfect Duluth Day. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Ramos said he started the website to have more creative license and control over his writing, and because he noticed he was finding stories before other news outlets “without even trying.” While attending the meetings of various boards and commissions, Ramos said he often found he was the only reporter in the room.

“I was going to meetings that they weren’t going to,” Ramos said. “If there’s all these meetings that nobody goes to, that’s almost like an untapped resource for a journalist.”
