I just came across this on the Gannett website - SEC filings. Looks like the Digital Chief bought stock last week in Gannett (over $125,000!!!). Maybe he sees something we don't?

The DIG is a mess. Clearly, Michael Maness is not an innovator. He is a good administrative assistant to Tara Connell and Gracia Martore. Did you listen to his audiocast the other week? Scary that this guy is "in charge" of innovation! How innovative can you be when you report into the head of PR and the head of Numbers?
ReplyDelete$125,000 is a lot of Kool-Aid.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible the stock was given to him and not purchased by him?
ReplyDeleteNo this is stock that he purchased. It says it on the filing. According to my calculations, he has already made $20k in less than a week. Add that to the hundreds of millions this kid has and a the rich get richer.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think is cool about this guy is that he is the only executive that is buying Gannett stock. A true risk taker!!!
