KEN PARISH PERKINS PICKS UP A PEN

Former Star-Telegram TV critic Ken Parish Perkins has written his first major piece since he left the Star-Telegram after plagiarizing a couple of sentences from a web site. I agree with Roland Martin, the assigning editor of Perkins’ Chicago Defender article about the WB and UPN merger.

In an interview Tuesday, Martin said Perkins is simply too talented and experienced to “be relegated to a non-journalism role” for the rest of his working life.
