This is true. She left the paper. Why keep her on as a freelance columnist when she's no better now than she was on staff? She got a PR gig somewhere. She clearly would have made a move to the big time at some point if she had it. She doesn't have it. As the paper shrinks I wonder how many columnists they even really need.
