Regarding the accuracy of comments that readers post on Gannett Blog, I recommend that you read Anonymous@10:41 a.m.'s smart observation today:
For what it's worth, I've found the rumors in these commentary sections to be highly unreliable. Occassionally, one comes true but mostly they're just speculation.
When it's time to worry is when Jim breaks one out as one of his posts. He seems to have some excellent insider contacts and while things he reports as rumor don't always come true, they do a high percentage of the time.
Remember that nobody knows who any of these other posters -- including me -- are. Jim has established his credibility, so I pay far more attention to his posts.

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."

ReplyDeleteHow are you doing in your quest for $6,000 for Q1? People who "pay far more attention to Jim" should pay FOR Jim.
