Former editor blasts Gannett

   December 3, 2008

As announced on this blog yesterday, Gannett has mandated further cuts at the News Journal. This is a real shame because it will impact this community – both in jobs lost and in coverage.

Former San Bernardino (Calif.) Sun sports editor, Paul Oberjuerge, blasts the media giant on his blog with this post – How Gannett Newspapers Got into This Fix:

Gannett never has owned newspapers. By its own preferred corporate-speak, it has owned “profit centers” — and the greedy bastards who ran the company were bold enough to call it just that.

BTW: We’ve heard GE has had layoffs and we will probably see another round of restaurants close by the end of the year.
