I don’t know anything about Chang, but they might have fired him because he wasn’t conservative enough. Evidently his early ambition was to report on horse racing. Here’s a bio:
Metro Editor - Go-to Man at the News Desk
Dean Chang, Metro Editor, joined The New York Daily News in 1990 at the age of 24. After seven years as a reporter, Chang was sweet-talked into becoming an editor by Pete Hamill, then the editor of The New York Daily News. Three months later, Pete was gone, and Chang was stuck on the desk. In his nine years on the City Desk, Chang has worked his way up from Deputy Metro Editor for criminal justice, supervising police and court coverage, to City Editor and now Metro Editor, a position he’s held for three years - a lifetime, compared to the last six Metro Editors. His first job after graduating from the University at Albany, where he met his wife at the school paper, was covering horseracing for The Saratogian in Saratoga Springs, New York. Chang is convinced that had he stayed in that field, he would have become one of horseracing’s most distinguished writers - but also one of the poorest, since they had tellers in the press box. Chang is married with three children.

Daily Snooze losing more heads. I love the NY Post, but I subscribe to the NY Sun (not as right as the NY Post, but definitely fans of reason and the Manhattan Institute) and the America bashing Financial Times (which otherwise has very good world news and business coverage).

Media Schadenfreude ping.
"well-liked Metro editor Dean Chang—who more than one Daily News reporter described as "grace under pressure"—has involuntarily left the building"
What's up with that? Getting rid of the good talent?

Just a Free Republic program note here. Our guys - FReepers abb & Milhous (and assorted others!) - have been hard at the
dbm keyword list for lo these many years.
These posts ALWAYS bring a ray of sunshine into my black, cynical heart [almost daily, I'll add], and I appreciate the heck out of the work that you guys do.
Feel free to give these guys a high five & an "attaboy"!
Thanks again!

Not only are they collecting the info, they are recording for future scholars the day by day decline. Their collection of articles is a gold mine for historians.

It's partially a labor of love on my part. Lovingly lashing out at my favorite whipping boy - dinomedia - provides therapeutic emotional entertainment to mitigate life's daily frustrations.
OTOH my more disciplined inner thinker finds itself passing through colossal cultural change. Watching the larger than life spectacle of relentless technology upsetting applecarts of establishment pyramids.
