  1. What's Vivian Schiller going to talk about -- her firing from NPR?

  2. Chief Digital Officer . . . reminds me of the old (circa late 1990s) online brokerage ad, where one of the characters gushes: "This whole internet thing is going to change EVERYTHING"! A terrific line, simultaneously fearsome and derisive.

    For the MBs of the world, who have figured out how to milk the cow while the rest of us are still feeling our way, "digital" and "new technology" are the new Golden Geese.

  3. This "expert" ought to be fixing the redesigned website that readers hate and figure how to make Presto work. Otherwise, we have another Banikarim on our hands. That we dont need.

  5. Will he be announcing his plan to drive more traffic to USAT.com. All of our client's ad campaigns are under-delivering on promised inventory.
