Lee Enterprises is one of the biggest dinosuar fishwraps. Last year they bought the Pulitzer Fishwraps.

Supposedly that would be good news for Lee. It hasn't been.

Interesting this supposedly was put out by AP on 4/20. It is just no showing up.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch Publisher Resigns

St. Louis Post-Dispatch Publisher to Leave Position for New Career

"ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's publisher, who for nearly a year has been guiding the newspaper through a transition to new ownership, says he is leaving for a new career.

News of Terrance C.Z. Egger's resignation, effective May 19, came in a statement Tuesday by Lee Enterprises Inc., which acquired the newspaper last year, and a letter Egger wrote to employees.

Egger, 48, wrote that it was a "very difficult personal and professional decision," but it was time for him to move on.

"Even in a job you love, sometimes 10 years is enough," he told the newspaper's staff.

Egger, who joined the Post-Dispatch as general manager in 1996 and was appointed publisher in 1999, said he has found himself yearning for a new chapter in his life. Although that has not yet been defined, he mentioned a return to teaching or other roles in the newspaper industry."



Egger will be teaching other unemployed pseudo Marxist journalists how to say, "Would you like to super size your order?"

partly due to costs related to its purchase of Pulitzer Inc.

I am sure that this is not the first, and will not be the last, purchase of a Pulitzer...

I can't tell you how happy I am to see these liberals take it in the shorts. The QC Times (Crimes) is one of the more vocal Bush bashers and I have refused to read it for years because of their far left stands on everything.

Lee owns the Quad City Times here in the Quad City area (Moline IL/Davenport IA.) It has become nothing but a repository of old, tired liberal leftist gunk. I can't stand to read it anymore, and cancelled my subscription.

Couldn't happen to a finer bunch.

Craigslist.com is going to put a lot of the dinosaur media out of business.

Bad news sells they say. Thanks for the heads up to enable me to add this newest trophy to my list. :)
