The first rule of working for Gannett is never talk about working for Gannett. <br /><br />That’s why this blog serves such an important role. It’s the only place current and former employees can learn what the company is up to. <br /><br />It’s all within reach (around).

I apply the same standards to copy, headlines and captions for my location's web site and print product. When did a desire to be thorough and accurate become "nit-picking"? The TV stations in my market (none are Belo) could use a little more "nit-picking"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099437767970534324.post-22891952132763365132013-09-13T06:02:26.659-04:002013-09-13T06:02:26.659-04:00This blog is not petty.

For the sake of any Belo employee, I hope Gannett's takeover does not happen. Ask any current or former Gannett employee, you do not want to be a Gannett employee.<br />The company does not value people. It has destroyed quality newspapers. Is the industry changing? Yes.

It seems to come entirely from newspaper folks who are bitter at GCI because the industry changed. Newspapers are facing irrelevance. Deal with it. Move on. Stop the bitterness. Talk to a good counselor. I mean it - and not in an Internet troll way. <br /><br />GCI is plotting a digital future.
