Gus Bova does a puff-piece profile of Bernard and Audre's granddaughter and her time at the Observer ...
And ...
Totally ignores alleged issues in the run-up to the Observer nearly going belly-up, including her allegedly clashing with then-editor Tristan Ahlone during her time as chairman of the board.
That said, given that Andrea Grimes has deleted her Substack but yet puts out on her LinkedIn that she still has an affiliation with the Observer? Your piece, for those who keep receipts, actually is a reminder that the Observer still has wounds beneath its band-aids. (Here's how the "affiliation" works, per a November piece she wrote for the Observer. Clicking her byline there? She wrote a piece Nov. 15, 2024, about Texas' post-Roe landscape. First one she's written in three years. Byline otherwise makes clear she works for a reproductive justice organization. And ONLY for them.)
It's part of the Observer's 70th anniversary celebration, a milestone that isn't often commemorated. Probably not bad for the Observer to do this, though, because who knows if it will hit 75.
And ... the Observer has now removed the interim tag from Bova as editor in chief. Way to make him sweat a few months.
