Great posting, Doug. The Oklahoman needs a watchdog, now more than ever. As a former reporter there (and the writer of the 1993 MAPS article you linked), I was an editor on several major stories that were killed there after 2000, when new managers was installed on the news side.
I also know many excellent and aggressive reporters and editors currently there, too, and excellent work still gets out.

Thanks, John, for both the comment and excellent background. In case others might not be aware, John wrote the substantial majority of articles on the original MAPS ... see this part of the Bee Watcher Watcher article.
