GLOBE SCOOPS UP
COLLINS. Former Herald television critic Monica Collins,
dropped
last November amid a wave of cost-cutting, will soon surface at a new
location: 135 Morrissey Boulevard. Collins has been brought in to
write an every-other-week essay for the Boston Globe Magazine,
and to contribute to the paper's City Weekly section as
well.
"It's the proverbial
I-couldn't-be-happier-and-I'm-looking-forward-to-the-opportunity,"
says Collins, who, until recently, had continued to write a weekly
column for the Herald, "Downtown Journal," on a freelance
basis. Her first Globe Magazine essay will appear on September
19.
Says Globe Magazine editor
Doug Most: "We're excited about it, because I do think she has a
voice in this town. She's knowledgeable about the people and places
that make this city tick."
Collins also appears Fridays at 9
a.m. on WRKO Radio (AM 680) to talk about media issues on The Pat
Whitley Show (as do I and the Globe's Mark Jurkowitz), and
writes a syndicated column called "Ask
Dog Lady."

The Herald is making it so-so-so easy for me to cancel my one-year subscription when it expires next month. But why doesn't the Globe use Monica Collins for her TV expertise? It's one of the weakest areas of Globe coverage.
