Digital First pursuing Gannett

[DanOregon]

Catching up on Sports Illustrated I noticed the published the masthead listing of all the staffers and noticed a whopping five copy editors on the copy desk. Also noticed the list of Senior Writers seemed a little less impressive than it has.

Also noticed the correction in the Letters section that they identified a Clemson defensive back (and other defensive players) as members of the Clemson offense celebrating a touchdown in the national title game. No big whoop - it was only the caption on the two page photo that led the article. Now that is a mistake.

Quote of the year

"We certainly fear the ruthless and brutal reputation of DFM/Alden in the US newspaper industry, but we are finding it hard to cheer for Gannett,"

Looks like Gannett staved off the charge:

Gannett board members reelected as shareholders reject MNG nominees

MNG never came up with the cash.
