The Boston Herald, under new editorial leadership, will announce today that it has hired former Boston Globe columnist Mike Barnicle to write a twice-weekly column, with the first one set to appear tomorrow.<p>After a 25-year career as a Globe columnist, Barnicle was asked to resign in 1998 amid questions about sourcing issues related to his columns. He went on to write columns for the New York Daily News and has hosted a talk-radio show in Boston for the past few years. As part of the Herald agreement, Barnicle, 60, is expected to continue his work as a talk host on WTKK-FM (96.9) and as a contributor to both MSNBC and "Chronicle" on WCVB-TV (Channel 5). At least for now, he will also continue to write his Daily News column once a week. (Boston Globe)<p>***"Leadership."***
