A change at the helm of the Philadelphia Daily News is bringing scrutiny to the Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper. The urban tabloid's new editor will be Larry Platt, the former editor of Philadelphia Magazine. George Miller, a former Daily News writer who now teaches journalism at Temple, is concerned about the paper's new leadership. "Why do you bring someone of a high-caliber magazine background into a daily newspaper that is really a gritty, on-the-street daily," said Miller. "It makes me wonder [about] the direction of the Daily News."
