Greenslade @ Guardian
That's
Roy Greenslade's read of the USA Today buyouts
memo. Editor
Ken Paulson writes: "At today's meeting, we discussed the economic realities that will require elimination of 45 newsroom positions." Greenslade comments: "'We discussed'. Did we, the staff, really
discuss? Should that not be we, the bosses,
announced? Did those 'economic realities' point to Gannett's continuing profitability? Did talk of those 'realities' mention the company's huge past profits, or its commitment to a high profit margin."
