A reader left the following comment in today's Real Time Comments open forum. I'm following their suggestion, and posting their note, here:
ReplyDeleteJim, I think you should bring back Elmira Confidential. Employees are all just a little shell shocked right now. You should give it more time. It is D-Day Sunday for Ithaca, Elmira and Binghamton.
Their newsrooms are never going to be the same after the consolidation of the copy desks goes into effect.
Let us know how the launch goes.
ReplyDeleteYesterday would have been the last day for eight Elmira staffers. Then Binghamton realized that there would have been nobody to paginate the Sunday Elmira paper.
ReplyDeleteAnd people wonder why Binghamton is a bad word in Elmira.
It would have been the last day for 6 people ... not 8.
ReplyDeleteAnd Binghamton isn't a bad word in my book. They're just carrying through with orders from corporate. They are not to be envied with this change ... they are face to face with some immense challenges.
The only problem was the lack of communication and collaboration during the whole process... which seems to be an issue within many corporations.

ReplyDeleteFinally, someone who gets it.
"Finally, someone who gets it."
ReplyDeleteVery few of those types of people are at this blog.

ReplyDeleteYou got that right.
Binghamton employees are doing what corporate tells them to do. If you want to blame anyone, blame the mothership.
ReplyDeleteSorry if that doesn't fit your angry worldview, but it's true.
hence the term spineless
ReplyDeleteYou should get help with that anger problem, dude.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say good luck to the consolidated copy desk in Binghamton!
ReplyDeleteThey are likely going to need it tonight.
its not about anger its about the truth, you work at a newspaper. do you not know the truth? who gives a shit about feelings. if your not upset about the consolidation and believe that bullshit wilson plastered on the opinion page u dont belong in this business. quit being a fucking baby dude.
