Welcome, Tina!

* Robert Feder…

Tina Sfondeles, a general assignment reporter at the Sun-Times, will be promoted Thursday to full-time political reporter for the paper. Her new role essentially consolidates the duties formerly held by political writers Natasha Korecki, who left for politico.com, and Dave McKinney, who resigned in protest and works for the Midwest bureau of Thomson Reuters. Before joining the Sun-Times in 2007, Sfondeles was a news writer at CBS Radio all-news WBBM AM 780 and a production assistant for “The Steve Dahl Show.” She’s a graduate of Lemont High School and holds degrees from Loyola University and Columbia College.

Sfondeles has been making the trip to Springfield to cover the Statehouse, so this formal promotion is welcomed news. She’ll do well and this appears to show that the CS-T is finally getting back on its feet, which is also good news.

5. Welcome to Springpatch Tina. Please be prepared to prove Cap Fax readers with weekly puppy pics and musical selections. We have come to expect that from our leader here on the blog, anything short of doing that will mean you have fallen short of being a true scribe.
