If you'd asked me to identify the top wage earners among New York's Dutchess County government employees, I would have picked senior elected officials. But the Poughkeepsie Journal's new salary analysis revealed a surprise today: psychiatrists.
Meat-and-greet
Meanwhile, five brave PoJo staffers gamely sampled the new KFC Double Down chicken sandwich and IHOP's cheesecake-filled Pancake Stackers. They videotaped themselves eating these calorie-busters. And then posted the video yesterday. On the World Wide Web. Yikes.

Good, traditional story. But for some real meat-and-potato reporting, check out the Journal staff munching on the KFC Double Down and IHOP Pancake Stackers (story and video) http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=20105160310
ReplyDeleteYum!
Is that a sad, underfurnished newspaper conference room, or what?
ReplyDeleteAbout 10 years ago, the Journal refurbished their main newsroom and for months, the majority of the newsroom was working out of the conference room. People were literally on top of each other trying to work.
ReplyDeleteI'm out the door to IHOP.
ReplyDeleteThis top wage earners story is nothing new--Same story was run a couple of years ago. I think a Metro North Railroad story on overtime will be next to round out the cycle.
ReplyDeleteWow, and I thought journalists thought focus groups were all BS. This video has all the charm of a Gannett local/local focus group from 2002! Next time I'll waste 3 minutes watching paint dry!
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when you sell your building--you work out of a broom closet.
ReplyDeleteHow come they get matching chairs in their conference room?
