"Globe deputy editor going to Broad Institute" by Keith O'Brien | May 16, 2009
Ellen Clegg, The Boston Globe's deputy managing editor for news operations, will be leaving the newspaper next month to take a position at the Broad Institute in Cambridge.
Clegg, 58, will become managing editor for communications platforms at the Broad Institute, which focuses on genetic research. She first joined the Globe in 1978 on the night copy desk and has held various editing positions, including city editor and regional editor.
Wow, 30 YEARS and OUT!!!!
In 2004, Clegg became deputy managing editor for the Sunday paper. Last year, Clegg assumed her current position at the paper where she is the top editor at night.
Clegg said yesterday that she will not soon forget her years at the Globe.
"Anyone who spends time in a city room knows that people turn to newspapers for information, for opinion, for entertainment, and when they want to expose something they believe is unjust. It has been a privilege to be part of that, and to work with the assembled talent at The Boston Globe."
No, they NOW TURN to BLOGS because of YOUR AGENDA-PUSHING LYING!
That's why the U.S.S. Globe is losing money and sinking faster than the Titanic!!!
I don't know if everyone feels that way, either:
"From the moment the Times Co. purchased The Globe in 1993, it has treated New England's largest newspaper like a cheap whore"
Okay, okay, she's not current and writes for the rival.
You want today, I'll give you today:
"Globe mailers' union to vote on cuts May 26" by Keith O'Brien, Globe Staff | May 16, 2009
Union president Mary White said yesterday:
"There's some level of fear from our members. There's some level of doubt that The New York Times would shut us down, and there's also some level of resignation and acceptance. So it's a mixed bag. And I can't predict what's going to happen."
Is that how the liberal, compassionate, peace-loving, well-meaning paper treats its employees?
Wow!
The outcome of the various union votes will help decide the fate of a newspaper that lost $50 million last year and is projected to lose even more in 2009....
Yeah, well: The Boston Globe Admits Iraq Lies Killed It
Guild delegate and reporter Beth Daley, speaking of the proposed 10 percent pay cut and lifetime job guarantee elimination facing Guild members:
"People are still stunned because somehow, in a month of negotiations, the deal got worse. It seems impossible, but we wound up with a worse deal than the one The New York Times first presented to us. And frankly, I hear a lot of people saying they're going to vote no."
Impossible?
No: The New York Times is a Terrorist
Daley might be one of them. While still weighing her decision, Daley said she's leaning toward voting no. Many staffers, she explained, "can't pay their mortgage with a pay cut of that size."
But Globe employees also understand the new fiscal realities, hammered home again this week when publisher P. Steven Ainsley told subscribers that financial pressures were forcing the newspaper to raise subscription rates.
Ainsley wrote in a letter to readers:
"Given the major changes in the newspaper business, we need to ask all our readers to lend us increased financial support to help ensure that we can continue to publish meaningful and original reporting every day."
WTF? They PULL DOWN MOSTLY WIRE STORIES!!!!!
Like I'm going to believe that thieving liar: Boston Globe Executives Got Six-Figure Bonuses
And if you think their agenda-pushing garbage is meaningful and original, you don't read them everyday like me. Do you know how much crap I skip over?
The new rates, effective June 1, come shortly after the Globe announced increased newsstand prices. The price of a seven-day subscription will be $12.25 per week, a 32 percent increase. The price for home delivery Thursday through Sunday will be $8 - a 23 percent increase - while the cost of a Sunday-only subscription will remain $3.50.
Such increases have become commonplace at newspapers in the last year, said Tom Corbett, an industry analyst for Chicago-based Morningstar Inc. They are an effective way to offset losses from declining ad revenues and circulation numbers, Corbett explained. But they are also a "calculated risk," he cautioned.
Yeah, I am well aware of the Globe's screwing of its readership over their atrocious state of affairs. It's the LIES, 'too-pid!
"The question is, what's the breaking point?" Corbett said. "Because if you raise circulation rates too much, you start to lose core subscribers. And once a news organization loses a subscriber, it's very, very hard to get that person back."
Exhibit A: The New York Times
Yes, the TRUST is DISSOLVED between you and me, MSM.Too many war-promoting, agenda-pushing lies for too long.
