This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

Huge rack sales for The N&O today thanks to the championship. Great deadline coverage.
Heads spinning at Globe Times’ sum: $15G per union worker Boston Herald Jerry Kronenberg and Christine McConville
“The Boston Globe’s demand for $20 million in union concessions amounts to more than $15,000 per unionized employee on average,…” === That’s not chump change.
Jarvis: The speech that NAA publishers should hear
BuzzMachine.com Reinventing the Newsroom
"You blew it. You had a generation to reinvent the business but you did too little. [snip]. But no last-minute hail-Mary passes will make up for our failings."
What did Gary Pruitt say? NAA Convention ---- You just have to read it for yourself. He bumped the Rolling Stones, what else is there to say?
A $15,000 pay cut is a shock, and I don’t think that lost income will ever come back. What good is it to be a loyal, experienced employee? They want cheap, and the product is becoming just that.
Globe to raise prices to $1.50 daily ‘to remain viable’
The Boston Globe is raising its prices in an effort “to remain viable,” according to a memo to its distributor obtained by the Herald.
Effective May 4, the cover price of the beleaguered broadsheet delivered outside of Greater Boston Monday through Saturday will increase to $1.50 - a 50-cent increase.
The price of the Sunday Globe will increase to $3.50 in Eastern Massachusetts and $4 everywhere else.
“The Star (Info may or may not have been released elsewhere): …Trussell says he, Robert Butler and Alice Thorson have decided to accept the part time jobs. Their new shortened workweek begins today. Their editor Carol Powers took the buyout. The new arts editor is Steve Paul.”
Rhonda speaks Italian! In a 'You Tube' video released today, our girl speaks in tongues. My Italian is a little rusty, but I think she said George Bush is a hottie.
The last rant: Failing papers ‘bring me joy’ brought to you via Allen Mutter
The more the problems of the media mount, the more that newspaper-bashing comments are flowing to this blog. As of today, the media bashers can save themselves the trouble, because I will reject them, one and all.

Will this delay any layoffs, firings, short falls, outsourcing etc?....Nope, not even one.
That’s not chump change.

You know that you have hit rock bottom when your outlook of the future can be summed up in the rambling lyrics of drug addicted has beens.

Read it and weep, a fool at best.
MNI VP Wiel's AA laid off after 30+, MNI HR VP AA Laid off.
