Why I will remember Mike Chitwood

Mike Chitwood became somewhat infamous for calling suspects "scumbags," "thugs" and "urban terrorists."

But that's not the reason I will remember him - and miss him dearly.

First of all, Chitwood was a newspaper man's dream - especially a guy who writes tabloid headlines for a living.

But there was another side to Chitwood, a side the public very rarely ever got the chance to see.

But I saw it just about every time I talked to the guy known as "Media Mike."

You can read about it in today's Letter From the Editor, my Monday print column.
