Rob Curley's ex-colleagues troll him again. Jeesh:
No, the Spokesman-Review editor didn't win a Pulitzer | Bloglander
Don't know Curley personally, and didn't know anything about his past until this thread. Looks like there was quite a bit of micromanagement and misadventure in Las Vegas.Rob Curley's ex-colleagues troll him again. Jeesh:

Isn't that because it's a family owner? Somebody committed to print still?Don't know Curley personally, and didn't know anything about his past until this thread. Looks like there was quite a bit of micromanagement and misadventure in Las Vegas.
But IHMO, since his arrival in Spokane, the Spokesman-Review has received a much-needed kick in the ass. Its reporting and layout has improved greatly in the past year. And I say this as someone who rarely praises management.
Both of those statements are correct. It's a very old community demographics-wise, so the decline in print advertising has happened more slowly here. But believe me, it's happened and is continuing to happen, especially with any national advertising.Isn't that because it's a family owner? Somebody committed to print still?
I read the Wiki about the Sun. It was a morning paper until 1989 when it went into a JOA with the LVRJ. By 1989 it was pretty clear that afternoon newspapers were dying. Why did the Sun agree to become an afternoon newspaper? My guess is that for whatever reason the LVRJ has the dominant paper in the market and the Sun was trying to hold on. The demise of the Sun can be attributed to that decision. The paper has been on life support since then.Both of those statements are correct.

I honestly don't know how Curley does it. He comes off as a nice person who is very quirky.
He landed a Deputy Editor position at OCR during a hiring freeze. He said he was brought in as a consultant and got the DE position later. That was bullshirt. We never figured out how he pulled that off.
He was supposed to be some kind of digital guru, but nothing ever worked. He rose in the ranks at OCR. Then he claimed he flat-out told the Kushner-Spitz Undynamic Duo that they were "stupid" to put a paywall on the website. Then when those two guys were carried out on their shields, Curley became the Editor.
He found a place to live where he could see Disneyland from his apartment. He wore something Disney every day, a pin or a T-shirt or a lanyard.
After he was replaced when Singleton's group took over, he was hired to be the Editor in Spokane.
You know him? Please tell us more. I've been reading stuff on different websites and I can't tell if he's the suit enemy or somebody I wanna buy a brewski.It's really hard to have a conversation with him without catching a fishy/creepy/fraudulent vibe.
