Neal Shapiro (left) "hasn't been shy about putting his at times unorthodox stamp on WNET and his own team in place,'' The New York Times said in this late-January profile. "Four of the station's top executives have left, including those overseeing communications and brand management, online operations and institutional fund-raising." Shapiro joined Gannett's board last October.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
