How Detroit got scooped on its own big story

It appears that a certain well-known Gannett executive has been talking privately to other news media for some time about big changes coming to GCI's Detroit businesses -- in effect, making it possible for rivals to scoop the executive's own papers there.

Meanwhile, here's the man with a plan: Detroit Newspaper Partnership CEO Dave Hunke, in a year-ago TV commercial, promoting the newspapers' news online; I found this on the joint operating agency's YouTube channel.

    Hunke and Obama both have "big plans". Let's see who survives longer. I'm betting on neither.
