Palm Springs | Publisher Ramhoff is moved out

In a spare, four-paragraph story today, The Desert Sun says only that Richard Ramhoff is no longer the Southern California paper's chief executive, and is now on an unspecified assignment at Corporate.

This is a quick iPhone post; more later.

  1. I hear that Corporate is pressuring the West Group. What do Reno staffers hear these days?

  2. Reno is fine Jim. We just celebrated Year over Year circulation gains, 10,000 new home subscription orders since January, and despite what you may hear, the GPC transition during an upcoming holiday weekend has gone well. Despite the naysayers we are in good shape. Let the bashers fire back!

  3. I'm wondering what this means. Rich is a decent guy. I hope that he's not being "recalled" to corporate because he wouldn't do something they demanded. I'm hoping that his means that he is in line for some sort of promotion.

    If only sales reps knew how to use the internet, I'd like to hear if they and their customers agreed.

  5. Reno is ok. Not great, but ok.
    Potential advertisers are generally told to advertise elsewhere by their agencies. Money goes much farther via other mediums.
    Businesses are not spendy these days. So unless there is a promise of ROI, the ads won't come.

    That's why Reno did ok on their first GPC holiday.
    There wasn't much to process. Circ may be up, but ad content isn't. Maybe next month.

    Cue the RGJ PR firestomper. See you shortly.
