Longtime Indianapolis Star staffer Debbie Bostic apparently promised top Editor Dennis Ryerson that she wouldn't start blogging about the newspaper when she quit recently -- then got peeved when her departure showed up on a blog run by another ex-staffer. "If you have left the paper and are bitter I am sorry. But move on,'' she said in an e-mail, that referred to the blogger, Ruth Holladay.Sadly, Gannett doesn't need to fear that many ex-employees will blog about the company: Hundreds of folks have left over the past year alone, and I'm still waiting for the wave of blogs I urged folks to start when I added my name to Gannett Blog for the first time.
I won't speak for Holladay, whose blog I read often (Hi, Ruth!). But as for yours truly, I'm not bitter. I'm just getting even! LOL!
Do you have a Gannett-related blog to recommend? Leave a note in the comments section, below. Or use this link to e-mail your reply; see Tipsters Anonymous Policy in the green sidebar, upper right.

Jim, Wasn't your buyout voluntary? Why bitter then? Or were the USAT buyouts not as voluntary as advertised? Just curious; not grinding any axe with the questions.
ReplyDelete@8:18 pm: After I wrote LOL, I considered adding: (Just kidding!). Something may have gotten lost in translation.
ReplyDelete$3.71 per gallon? Crap! I'm going to drive 1,000 miles to Indianapolis just to fill up!
