Breen Told Syndicate His U-T Job "Definitely Threatened" If He Went Ahead with Kelley Strip
Re: Post #2 OT Just out of curiosity Don, is there a major newspaper that isn't an "establishment tool"?— December 31, 2009 9:48 a.m.
Union-Tribune Axe Falls Again. Kittle Reportedly Out
Damn, Don. You're showing your age. He's referring to the Rodney King riots.— August 15, 2009 9:02 p.m.
Rumors: More Layoffs at U-T
Looks like they're cutting more bone while there's still fat elsewhere on the body. Shadow is right.— August 12, 2009 1:04 p.m.
New U-T Owners Borrowing against Real Estate
Re: #11: It's not an issue of page count. The current system is not a pagination system at all. They use hot wax and box cutters. They need to upgrade because, at last check they can no longer purchase the necessary materials to continue operating the way they do -- companies don't make them any more. Also, if they were serious about saving money in the mid-to-long term, the pagination system would allow them to save money on supplies (by going direct to negative or plate) and getting rid of some people in the backshop.— July 22, 2009 9:15 p.m.
New U-T Owners Borrowing against Real Estate
Re: the pagination system. According to my sources, which are pretty dang good, the new pagination system may not be everything it's cut out to be. The pagination system that was selected after a rather involved process before the sale to Platinum was nixed by the new execs. Instead, they're talking about getting an older, less capable system that is not receiving ongoing support and development but is cheaper. And it's not just that, they're also talking about stripping pieces off the cheaper system to make the price even lower. Basically, they're talking about replacing a 30-year-old front-end system with a 20-year-old front end system. If they're hoping on increasing productivity on the production side through a new computer system, they may be falling flat on their face with this one.— July 22, 2009 11:41 a.m.
Watchdog Institute Puzzles Union-Tribune Staffers
Don, re: #36 -- That would be a whole 'nother story. Can you imagine the s***storm that would've followed if they caught the city fudging those numbers. Take mileage for instance. If the city tried to hide some money in mileage when it didn't belong there, then you've got a great story about some PR person driving 3,000 miles a month or something else equally ridiculous. I think that $1,900 would've been well spent as a check on the city administration's honesty.— July 1, 2009 10:59 p.m.
