Nice also to see a female voice added back to the Globe editorial board.

The departure of Renee Loth left the Globe ed board a very male place, and I was hoping they would take steps to remedy that.

With no offense, of course, to some of the excellent male writers on the ed board.

Sort-of-new faces are a welcome change to the stagnation that has afflicted The Globe.

Well written, well reasoned pieces by authors of all political stripes is what makes a newspaper interesting.

Why not at The Globe?

p.s. Re: Rozzie’s comment. While I rarely agreed with either Oliphant or Nyhan, their pieces were always interesting and informative.

I’m delighted with this move for more personality in the Globe. To me, the columnists are the heart and soul of the paper. There are too many days when the op-ed page is stuffed with one-shot pieces from experts. I prefer a discussion from consistent local writers who I get to know and argue or agree with. I miss the days of Nyhan and Oliphant, and while I enjoy reading the Globe’s current crop of columnists, I’m enthusiastic that they’re expanding and emphasizing the department. By the way, Alex Beam on Politics is an improvement, too.

Can Weiss help Canellos figure out how to write shorter titles for their editorials?
