Editor’s Chat: Talbot Spy’s John Griep on COVID, Talbot Boys and Town Promenade in 2020 Review

January 2, 2021 by Dave Wheelan

Share


While John Griep has been a journalist for his entire adult life, it is hard for him to think of any year that comes close to what Talbot County experienced in 2020. From the pandemic to the Talbot Boys controversy, his community (he’s a Mid-Shore native) has been challenged in ways never imagined before. Given these unique circumstances, while adding to the fact that the county turned “Blue” with Joe Biden’s victory and the controversy of a proposed downtown Easton promenade, the Spy thought it would be a good idea to chat via Zoom with its public affairs editor, to review the last twelve months.

This video is approximately sixteen minutes in length.

    This is a belated comment, but thank you Talbot Spy for publishing these interviews about our local towns. They were very interesting and informative.

    Since I live in Talbot, it is embarrassing that we are the only county with a prominent monument to slavery. I’d like to think the next election of our county council will defeat the members who support government-sponsored racism.
