I see this report is from the New York Times. Well, they should certainly be a foremost authority on losing readers.
If so good!
July 6, 2006. That is the latest?
This thread is the latest.
The link was from last year ( pictures, etc. ).
Having grown up in the newspaper business I can tell you that reporters and editors think the whole business revolves around them, perhaps because they are the visible part. In truth, advertising, composing, the press room, mail room, circulation, etc. are the real working people of the industry. Editorial people are a dime a dozen, particularly today with all the layoffs. If these people want to be in a union they should get a real job like working in a coal mine.
The New York Times is doing nicely losing their readers, advertisers, and stock prices.
And they will be the ones who suffer the consequences of the liberal bias that destroys their livelihood.
Editorial people are a dime a dozen, particularly today with all the layoffs.
You overpaid.
If these people want to be in a union they should get a real job like working in a coal mine.
How about just have them trade places? People don't trust reporters, but I've never heard that said about coal miners.
She should close down, fire everybody, and start from scratch. Hire the new staff very carefully.
Santa Barbara, liberal mecca. Such a beautiful place......now wasted on the hypocritical elite leftists.
There just isn't enough attention span for all the media hogs who want to be Masters of the Universe.
I like your title much better.
Wendy P. McCaw is the multi-millionaire owner of the Santa Barbara News-Press. She is also known as an animal rights activist.
Born Wendy Petrak around 1951, she met Craig McCaw, the son of a wealthy Seattle media owner, at Stanford University where they both majored in History. They married in 1974. The couples' tumultuous divorce in the mid-1990s gained McCaw her fortune.
Mrs. McCaw and her former husband, cellular phone pioneer Craig McCaw, gave millions in donations in the 1990s to help return Keiko, the orca star of "Free Willy," to the wild.
In her editorials in the News-Press, Mrs. McCaw is a staunch defender of animal rights, arguing against whaling operations and a federally funded hunt to kill feral pigs on the Santa Barbara Channel Islands. Her defense of animals while also opposing an ordinance to increase the minimum wage for city workers has led to some criticism. Soon after her purchase of the paper, an editorial called for an end to the Thanksgiving tradition of eating turkey, because of the suffering of the "unwilling participants."
She sounds like Pelosi who wanted the minimum wages and union benefits for all employees except her employees.
Sounds to me like insubordination .. and I'd have already fired quite a few people.
But .. liberals are such cowards.
Somewhere, Craig McCaw is chuckling.
Probably a hate crime to eat a turkey on rye in this paper's newsroom.
