Not For Nothing is Back

Hello, gang. After a brief hiatus, Not For Nothing is back - with a new voice.

This is David Scharfenberg and I've just taken over from Ian Donnis as news editor of The Providence Phoenix. Big shoes to fill, for certain. Ian did some great work here. But I've got pretty big feet - size 13 - so I'm hoping it will work out.

My first cover story was on the same-sex marriage debate. Expect more political coverage and some quirkier stuff, too. And if you've got any story ideas - or thoughts on the direction of the Phoenix - I'd love to hear from you. E-mail me at dscharfenberg@phx.com.
