  1. OMG, I pass that house every week on the way to Great Falls Park. I didn't know that was the neighborhood where the Dubows live. Very exclusive.

  3. Could you elaborate on that, please, 10:22 pm?

  4. 10:36 Why is it fair to show someone's home? Mabye Craig had nothing to do with this choice, and Denise made the decision. So why should it be held up to derision?

  5. Good questions, 10:51 pm.

    First, just to make sure you know, this is NOT a photo of the Dubow home.

    This home is for sale by the owners, who are advertising it on the Internet -- for everyone to see. With that photo, I've included a link to the webpage, advertising the home.

    Finally, as to your question: This photograph provides context in my ongoing stories about Gannett upper management and their worldview. Here, you are getting a glimpse of the privileged lives many top officers lead. That can't help but influence their perspective, and so their approach to managing the company.

  6. So Jim, if you were the CEO of a company, you wouldn't live in a house that looked like that? I guess all CEOs and officers should live a life of, what? This is really stretching.

  7. You know Jim, I think you're on to something here. If you consider what national TV news anchors pull down in salary, you begin to realize that they are not "common folk." They have truely become an elite class with a hell of a lot of influence over how we think. So too, I think, Gannett's upper crust.

  8. Hmmm. So your life on Castro Street San Francisco, a unique and highly urban area that that is just about as different as any in the country from the communities served by most Gannett publications, defines your world view? Perhaps explains your growing avoidance of the issues that Gannett folks actually care about in favor of your growing obsession with personal attacks and vendettas? Great to see you using the traffic generated by the pain of layoffs to fuel your own personal power trip. So much for being a journalist.

  9. If I took a pix of the real house in that neighborhood, would you run it? It would be taken from a public street.

  10. 12:10 pm: Thank you for asking. I would NOT publish that photo. (I've already seen the house.)

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."
