Corporate doesn't care about these towns. They're effectively bureaus, but Gannett "management" pretends to the community they're still stand-alone papers. They aren't. Meanwhile, Gannett guts them so much that there's really nothing left to sell if anyone were interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099437767970534324.post-49039824379514710512013-10-14T18:04:27.041-04:002013-10-14T18:04:27.041-04:00One lawsuit due to inattention at the local level ...One lawsuit due to inattention at the local level will show the folly of this cost-saving measure. And productivity, such as it is, will go down as well. Gannett would be better dumping the property for all the effort they are putting into it. And a memo to any other small community paper in Gannett-land, get ready for the same treatment.
