Reader: Here's the company founder's reaction

"Frank Gannett is rolling over in his grave,'' a reader says, in a new comment on my post about Gannett's selling off newspapers to fund the now-tarnished Gannett Foundation.

  1. "For all the news that we'd like to print."

    How about the local ombudsman in the Editorial Dept. to comment on this subject? Sorry, took the buyout.

  2. Uh, Jim, that one's a little tacky, don't you think? Let the man rest in peace.

Jim says: "Proceed with caution; this is a free-for-all comment zone. I try to correct or clarify incorrect information. But I can't catch everything. 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."
