John Boyle

@chriscooperwcu @AvlWatchdog Thanks for the kind words, Chris! And for being a guest speaker who really raised the level of conversation. I really appreciate it.

Had a great time at the @AvlWatchdog Boyle and Beer event last night. I wish everyone could hear John Boyle’s opening remarks on the importance of local news & local investigative journalism. It was pure Boyle-funny & smart w/o being preachy. We are lucky to have John in #wnc

More excellent reporting here.

Damn, this is horrible…

@chriscooperwcu Damn. I’m so sorry, Chris.

My brother Peter Cooper passed away last night after suffering a head injury late last week. I miss him already 🧵

Sweet Jesus…

Had to let loose in this one…

@Ashevegas @AvlWatchdog Got a chuckle out of the pizza remark, pretty not!

@AvlWatchdog And I'll add this: Boyle knows a sinking ship when he sees one. He's not even sticking around for the free pizza on Election Night.

Here's the @AvlWatchdog story about its hiring of longtime local newspaper reporter John Boyle, whose last day at the #Asheville Citizen-Times will be Friday. #avlnews
