After almost five years at the Star Tribune, our editor, Anders Gyllenhaal, has been called to a new challenge: to be the executive editor of the Miami Herald, another McClatchy newspaper and the paper where, earlier in his career, he earned a good many of his journalistic stripes.
As Anders said in a note to the newsroom: "I want you to know this has been a very difficult decision that has kept me awake many nights. In the end, my family and I decided to take a kind of homecoming, returning to the place where Beverly and I met, where our children were born and where I had my journalistic upbringing. We’re leaving sooner than I ever expected, but the leadership of the newsroom will be in extremely good hands."
The editor in Miami is retiring, and Anders is the natural choice to lead yet another McClatchy newspaper to the kind of accomplishments the Star Tribune has achieved under his ambitious and thoughtful guidance...

Is there nothing he can't do?!!
The Miami Herald posted steep circulation declines over the past six months, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
At the Miami Herald, circulation slid 9.8 percent in its Sunday circulation to 361,846, and 8.8 percent weekdays to 265,583.
Nationally, for the six months ending Sept. 30, weekday newspaper circulation softened by 2.8 percent compared to the same period a year ago, and Sunday by 3.4 percent, continuing a trend that has accelerated in recent years with use of the Internet.
The Miami Herald attributed the bulk of the drop to planned cutbacks in circulation to international hotels and third-party copies. Those copies, which are often distributed to schools, hotels, hospitals and other public places, tend to be less valued by advertisers....
Didn't the Strib get caught buffing up their circulation a while back ?

Not this.

That would be a big YES!!!
It's nice to be rid of him.
How difficult is it to ride a dinosaur to the bottom of the tar pit?
This has to be some kind of joke right?
AFAIK that is still "under investigation" by the paper.
Don't hold your breath.
Yes, that is right. I was not Gyllenhaal. I forgotten the name but the fellow worked there 30 years and had a spotless record. It is the solution I have not heard about.
Ping the Minnesota list???
Guess the snow got to him.
With any luck the Herald will be out of business in a few years. It's already a joke.
Send that person to the Boston Glob/NYSlimes/Washington Compost. Those papers seem to attract that type of writing.
Or, maybe as a fill-in host for Hissy-fit Matthews.
Funny thing is, we haven't had any snow yet this year. :)
Anders, don't let the door hit you, where the good Lord split you.
I thought he was lifting out of the Dallas paper...
ROTFLMAO!!!!
