Mike Reed Sets Goals for New Gannett

I don't think that even qualifies as "social media influencer" status.

They've cut the number of newsroom employees in more than half in less than four years.

 

Has Mike Reed shared this week’s goal? Is it to make sure his check doesn’t bounce?

 

Journalism is a tough business these days. It's even tougher if you're stupid.

 

On Saturday, the local Div III team won to advance to the men's Final Four. At the same time, a D1 mid-major 30 miles away (which is covered by its own small daily and a nearby mid-metro - also Gannett owned) also won its conference tournament.
Our local daily sports page's CP today (no Sunday print) is the mid-major. The local D3 team got a 1 column hed and no art.
Also had a multiple state wrestling championship last night but of course with a 10 am content deadline that won't be in print until Tuesday ... assuming they remember.

New owner says they’re investing in the product… the previous graf mentions they’re switching to mail delivery.

 

I just ordered that book.

 

It's 2023, bud. Newspapers aren't the core product.

 

Mostly IT employees, according to other reports.
