Some readers may remember Tom Lasseter, who began his career
as the Herald-Leader’s night cops reporter in Lexington and has been covering the war in Iraq for this newspaper and others in the McClatchy (formerly Knight Ridder) group since
2003. Well, Tom is moving to a new – and
we hope, safer – assignment as the McClatchy bureau chief in India. Here are the details.
Lasseter, a University of Georgia graduate from Atlanta,
did some fine work at the Herald-Leader. He and Mary Meehan reported on problems with code enforcement in low-income
rental housing in Lexington. Then,
as our correspondent in Hazard, he played a big role in the Prescription for
Pain series that inspired U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers to start the UNITE program to
fight prescription drug abuse in rural Kentucky.
