Union-Tribune Axe Falls Again. Kittle Reportedly Out
Does anyone remember the disaster that was the zoned high school sports section? (circa 1984)— August 14, 2009 8:49 p.m.
Rumors: More Layoffs at U-T
Does anyone know any more names who were let go? How about anyone let go from circulation, distribution or production?— August 14, 2009 8:29 p.m.
Union-Tribune Axe Falls Again. Kittle Reportedly Out
Response to post #56 Don: I will hook up with you either by email or phone. Obviously, most of my inside information I cannot post in public. You will be Woodward and Bernstein and I will be deep throat. I will be the best source you ever had.— August 14, 2009 8:20 p.m.
Union-Tribune Axe Falls Again. Kittle Reportedly Out
Response to #33. I once was at a meeting with Karin Winner and others. How she ever got to be Editor is beyond me. Jerry Warren was there also. But he just sat there and never said a word. Great leadership.— August 13, 2009 10:19 p.m.
Union-Tribune Axe Falls Again. Kittle Reportedly Out
Response to #36 & #38. Believe it or not the Evening Tribune used to have a great sports section. Writers like Steve Bisheff, Joe Stein, Bud Poliquin, Bud Shaw, Tom Cushman, Nick Canepa (still there - as of Monday anyway), and Bob Ortman. When Barry Lorge wrote for the Union I'm surprised everybody didn't switch to the Tribune or quit their subscriptions to the Union. As of now, I like Canepa, Bill Center, Kevin Acee and Jay Posner. But six pages for a sports section for a major metro paper? When the sports section goes it's time to raise the white flag.— August 13, 2009 10:03 p.m.
Union-Tribune Axe Falls Again. Kittle Reportedly Out
Don: I know where the skeletons are buried. I have a lot of good information to contribute to this blog. Just to give you some names from the past: GM's John Curley, Gene Bell, and Glenn Pfeil. Is Production manager Jerry Thomas still around? He once announced at a seminar that "I have no college degree." What kind of an idiot would admit to something like that? But then again, GM Gene Bell didn't have a degree. His announcement as the new GM cleverly disguised this fact. Let me know what you think. I have lots of good info.— August 13, 2009 9:39 p.m.
Union-Tribune Axe Falls Again. Kittle Reportedly Out
Don: Was Pat Merrinan of Human Resources ever given his walking papers? How many people are left on the sports section? The Tribune Food section used to be bigger than the entire paper is today. Rememember the rumor about some union demanding that the editorial board be fired? I guess it finally happened. What will Kittle do now?— August 13, 2009 9:21 p.m.
