Come on Matt- what is the definition of buried......."3rd paragraph one liner"
Certainly wasn't a headline like "Sjogren leaving marine industry"

The general definition of buried, by journalistic standards, is "hidden deep within a story." The story in question started with a single declarative sentence lede, followed by a two sentence quote from the story principal, John Cosker, followed by the graph on Sjogren's exit, which was followed by Sjogren's quote. While you have an opinion, no professional journalist I know and respect would call that "buried."

Yes, I could have written "Sjogren Leaving Marine Industry." But in my judgement, that was the second-most important part of the story, which is why it was second. Mystic Building A Dealer Network was the bigger news, and it's news I've continued to follow. Most recently, https://speedonthewater.com/in-the-n...port-catamaran, a little more than a month ago.

That story was handled professionally. I'm sorry if its structure disappointed you. My guess—and I could be wrong—is that you're disappointed that where was no "dirt" or negativity regarding the marine industry. But that's just a guess. I could be wrong.

That is funny.

Matt are you going to try and contact him in the future to see which way he is heading? He was a large dealer for many years. Wouldn't mind to know where some of his mechanics and such went.

I'll go with your journalistic expertise........

Part 2- While there has to be more to the story, personally I don't care as I didn't buy a boat from him and never set foot in any of his facilities. Sjogren is just another boat dealer that made a few big splashes in the industry and is no longer in the business.
Pier 57, Shogren, Arizona/Oregon whatever, LCM, Hideaway were all at the top of their game for a while.

From what I was told first hand of how he drilled Pier 57 into the ground after the "merger", this seems fitting.

In Oct of 15 I bought my second Fountain from him [ was all ways good to deal with for me and fair ] he had just bought a building about 20 miles west of where he was and in the process of moving he said he was downsizing and his mechanic was going to operate under a different name I forget in the same building .

Fake News Fake News Sorry Matt- couldn't resist with that all over the new now.

All in good fun and all good. While I believe term "fake news" has been hijacked from its original definition of "online news deliberately designed to mislead" to any news story that doesn't support a given reader's opinion, it has had the positive effect of keeping journalists honest and on their toes. And there's nothing wrong with that.
