"Publisher: Globe cuts will extend to managers" by Robert Gavin, Globe Staff | April 7, 2009
Boston Globe publisher P. Steven Ainsley, in a memo to staff, confirmed for the first time that executives met with Globe unions last week to seek "significant" concessions and indicated the company will squeeze savings from nonunion employees. Based on recent action, that could include additional pay cuts and layoffs.
Ainsley did not directly address the threat by the paper's owner, The New York Times Co., to shutter the paper if unions do not quickly agree to $20 million in concessions. But he acknowledged that media reports on a threatened shutdown were "jarring" to employees. Union officials and other employees briefed on the meetings have confirmed the threat....
In his memo, Ainsley said he believed the paper could overcome its current financial problems. At the meeting with union leaders, he wrote, executives presented a strategy to generate more revenue from readers and advertisers, although he did not provide further detail.
???
Can't even be straight up with the workers, huh? Gotta fart mist them, too?
Times Co. and Globe officials declined to comment further.
"It is critical we all keep in mind that our objective is to improve the financial performance of the Globe," he wrote. "As bruising as this economic downturn has been to this institution, I believe we will accomplish that objective if all of us keep our focus."
Oh, you think it's the economy and not the lies, huh?
Yeah, the OBJECTIVE is to MAKE $$$ not TELL the TRUTH!!

Sadly, they are DOING NEITHER!!!
And THIS NEXT ITEM makes me LAUGH!!
"Bloggers rally to back paper
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!
Not this one!!!!
Nearly 20 bloggers launched a "blog rally" to support The Boston Globe and seek ideas to help the financially struggling newspaper, threatened with a shutdown by its owner, The New York Times Co.
The rally, organized by Paul Levy, president of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, got underway at about 10 last night, with the blogs simultaneously publishing a post asking readers to submit suggestions on ways the Globe can improve its financial position.
I have an idea: LET THE LIARS DIE!!!!!
The Globe, like many newspapers, has been hurt by the migration of advertising to the Internet and the current recession....
Yeah, NOTHING about the DAMNABLE LIES!!!
Because of the LACK of CONTRITION, you DESERVE YOUR SUFFERING!!!
In fact, the Globe is just part of the entire LYING, COMPLICIT, ENABLING, AGENDA-PUSHING, WAR-PROMOTING, WAR-CRIMINAL AmeriKan press
Blogs are often viewed as competitors of traditional media outlets and contributors to their financial woes.
WHO, MOI?
:-)
That bloggers would want to help the newspaper shows "there is something special about the Globe that we want to keep around," Levy said. "It's our way of showing our affection for the paper and how important it is."
--more--"
I've TRIED to HELP THEM (hint, hint, hint):
"The media which has printed these lies and presented the horrors of the day according to the angle desired by those who operate it have become their own worst enemy. They are daily providing the evidence that they lie. Truth tellers on the internet are turning over every rock they tried to bury the truth beneath."
Of course, if they ever told the truth now, the people would not only be appalled at when has been done and the lies that were told doing it; they would understand the MSM's role in FACILITATING ABSOLUTE, AGENDA-PUSHING PROPAGANDA and OUTRIGHT RACIST RUBBISH!!!
And IF THEY TRULY LOVED US they would not LIE TO US EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!!!!!
