Obit watch: July 31, 2014.

Jay Maeder, who worked for the Daily News and Miami Herald, has passed away.

I note this for two reasons. Reason #1:

He also contributed posts to the City Room blog of The New York Times. They were discontinued after similarities were found between descriptive passages in the posts and those in articles he had written for The News.

Awk. Ward.

Reason #2: Mr. Maeder was also the last writer for the “Annie” comic strip, which was cancelled in 2010.
