I didn't know Weber personally, but I've heard he's a class act. Heard he will have two more farewell columns on Tuesday. Anyone with three columns must have been doing something right. Gannett is losing a good one there, me thinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099437767970534324.post-73411471174925210392011-02-04T15:22:05.295-05:002011-02-04T15:22:05.295-05:00Laid-off Daily Record sports editor Frank DiLeo ma...Laid-off Daily Record sports editor Frank DiLeo managed to get <a href="http://gannettblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-must-read-column-laid-off-nj-sports.html" rel="nofollow">a final column into print today</a> that slams Gannett: "We're all victims of corporate greed."Jim Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712746705871119746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099437767970534324.post-5633452238691113622011-02-04T13:17:18.245-05:002011-02-04T13:17:18.245-05:00Funny story: I heard that someone who was intervie...Funny story: I heard that someone who was interviewed was asked questions by the interviewer DIRECTLY from a manual.

How do you create content that people want to read, especially locals, when you fire ("legally not hire", like that truthism 9:58) someone with the knowledge and experience to make that content compelling or valued? There are many things wrong and right about what management is doing to recreate the business model.
