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."

This is like Kremlinology: If that's Kane in the photo, this would suggest an orderly change in management -- not his ouster.
ReplyDeleteKane is on the right, I think that's the editor of the Star on the left.
ReplyDeleteYes, Jim, I think your predictions of an ouster are premature. The Indy article says he new assignment will be announced this afternoon. Let's watch.
ReplyDeleteSo, was Dickey there? I ask because he's paraphrased in the Star's story as follows: "She will bring skills in strategic thinking and communications from Phoenix to Indianapolis, said Robert J. Dickey, Gannett U.S. community publishing president."
ReplyDeleteClearly it is Dickey and Kane. Jim for all of your Gannett knowledge you can't identify these two?
ReplyDeleteI'm just checking; it's dangerous to assume.
ReplyDeleteWTF?! That's the lamest cutline. Three people in the picture and they can't identify all three? No wonder we're going down. No one seems to give a shit anymore.
ReplyDeleteL to R: Bob Dickey, Karen Crotchfelt, Michael Kane.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Kane on the right. Definitely not the editor of The Star on the left. Doesn't really look like Dickey, but I think it's just a bad picture of him.
ReplyDeleteHas Dickey lost weight, or am I simply accustomed to an older mug shot of his face, making him look more heavy than he really was?

ReplyDeleteUgh. Karen Crotchfelt. She's got a bad temper; Arizona Republic made her go to anger management classes. She liked to party in Reno. Not so popular with the staff there, but evidently now she's a corporate darling.
ReplyDeleteSame two suits that were in Wilmington last month to announce Riddle's retirement! Dickey and Kane.
ReplyDeleteThat is Bob Dickey...Double-chin and all.

ReplyDeleteRegarding the 8:02 comment I just removed, please let's all agree that Crotchfelt is an unusual surname, and that she adopted her husband's surname as a matter of personal choice -- and then we can discuss other, even more interesting and important subjects.

ReplyDeleteJim's correct, her name's unusual, but there are more interesting things to discuss, such as her uncanny luck. While she's absolutely extremely bright and has done some positive things, she's managed to stay clear of issues she's created. Take a look at- http://www.naa.org/Resources/Publications/PRESSTIME/PRESSTIME-2004-December/PRESSTIME-20Under40-Dec04-4.aspx. I wonder how many of those publications are still around (and there were more). There were no million dollars generated, just ad buys redistributed and large costs associated. Plus, she was in such a rush to demonstrate how these targeted products would generate millions, she had ad reps telling existing advertisers the newspaper wasn't their best advertising value. The economy took a dive and hid those losses while there were a lot of people held accountable but not Karen. Also interesting how many females have been retained during the past years' of layoffs in departments under Karen. I suspect she'll do well in Indy as luck would have it, she's coming to a paper as the economy is rebounding.
ReplyDeleteTypical Gannett! The execs are pumped up enough in their own heads to stand onstage as some herald for the serfs, but why bother with the "hoi polloi?" -- And, thanks, Jim, for culling the junior-high comments. Professionally these folks with their failings are more than fair game; but leave their personal lives circumstances and relationships out of it. Not sure, but I believe it's a Croation pronunciation.
ReplyDeleteShe's one of the smartest women I've ever met, and certainly the industry needs that now. She's not afraid to try innovative approaches. I'm glad Gannett is recognizing her talents and putting her in a position to make some fresh changes. Doing the same thing we've always done clearly isn't going to move the industry forward.
