Newton mayor apparently unaware he's going to have a hard time getting a job as an editor

Sure sounds like David Cohen wants to get into the news business and decide what goes on the front page. Cohen, who isn't running for re-election in large part because of the costs associated with a new Taj Mahal high school, defended a decision to bar a Tab photographer from a "public" viewing of the still unfinished building because Tab photos wouldn't have been "essential" to reporting on construction progress, Wicked Local Newton reports.

The printed quote leaves a lot of room for doubt, but the video leaves a lot less.

Sounds like Dan Atkinson is coming from a posture of old-school real journalism, and David Cohen is not recognizing that.

(Update: I had a third sentence here that didn't make sense, since I goofed a name.)
