Lona didn't Last

Has anyone noticed that Palm Beach Post reporter, Lona O'Connor, hasn't been seen lately or has not had her name attached to an article in the Post? Just when I was getting used to her "set-up" and approval on lousy photos and not knowing the difference in writing a blog versus a Facebook page, she is no longer with the newspaper. Lake Worth news is being written by another reporter, fair and balanced Eliot Kleinberg, who is a news and features writer and has been with the PBPost since 1987.

Comment Up

Lona O'Connor is the new reporter assigned to Lake Worth by the Palm Beach Post. Willie Howard will be covering Palm Beach Gardens.  Lona has the best job --this is where all the action is but it's going to take her awhile to figure out the politics and who is feeding her a line of bull. It's bad enough when we have to deal with editor Andrew Marra on our local issues.

Her bio states that "general assignment reporter Lona O’Connor writes about a diverse set of topics, including religion, the environment, the arts, higher education, neighborhood disputes, bionic dogs and maggots that paint." No kidding!
