Myron Rushetzky

Myron Rushetzky, for more than two decades, was informally known as the voice of The New York Post. Formally, his title since 1992 until he took a buyout in 2013 was “support staff supervisor” and it seemed as though any time one called the paper’s city desk, it was Rushetzky who answered — especially if the call was made at night. He joined The Post in the 1970s as a copy boy, became a city desk assistant, and his subsequent duties included managing an extensive archive as the newspaper’s assistant librarian.
