Lee to acquire BH Media

I do look at the Journal Star website in order to check in on Nebraska football. I forgot it was a Lee property. And I agree that the electronic product is good, but not earth shattering.

I particularly enjoy Steven M. Sipple's game wrap-ups. He overwrites and turns virtually every Nebraska loss into an apocalypse.

 

I love Sip. And you’re right: Thank goodness his loyal readers have more lives than 2 cats!

He’s his own UNL satellite campus, for good AND bad.

 

IIRC, Lee was only interested in St. Louis, but was told it was an all-or-nothing sale for all of Pulitzer.

 

I would have said the same of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. But Baton Rouge bought New Orleans and basically gutted the staff. So I was wrong yet again.

I see no reason Lee would not do the same thing in Nebraska.

 

Newspaper transactions these days are like NBA teams trading bad contracts - being willing to pay more dollars if it clears off your cap sooner.
