Comments for Ax falls at The Advertiser at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 6 out of 6 comments http://www.theind.com Sat, 18 May 2013 19:16:58 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/home/4657#comment-1793 To Why and Enough Already: You completely misread our position here. We take no delight in the misfortunes of employees at The Advertiser. None. They’re our colleagues in a beleaguered industry. Our beef is with Gannett, the parent company of TDA, and its business model for community newspapers, which is to homogenize them to the point of losing their soul. And there’s evidence, as The Independent has reported, that Gannett’s reorganization model leads to successful papers like TDA suffering more than their commensurate share of stress as the mother ship re-acclimates itself to the business atmosphere in which the print industry is currently gasping and choking. It’s all about the bottom line and the formula, not the communities in which Gannett operates newspapers. - Walter Pierce, Managing Editor Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:35:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4657#comment-1791 Come on IND - stop with the Advertiser bashing. If you get the Advertiser daily, it bashes itself more than enough. Don't revel in the misfortunes of others... for you will soon bring such negativity on yourself. - Enough Already Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:50:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4657#comment-1788 Look, I'm no real fan of the Daily Advertiser reporting. The IND appears to do a better job. However, it's almost as if the IND staffers take complete joy in announcing layoffs at the Louisiana Gannett papers. Unless the IND is ready to step up and start competing on a daily basis, they should hope for the Advertiser to be able to maintain its staff to provide a daily newspaper for Lafayette. Stop rejoycing over people losing their jobs. - Why? Fri, 10 Jul 2009 08:36:04 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4657#comment-1787 No sales people lost their jobs, none! One full time graphic artist and one part-time. Two in production and one in circulation and a part-timer in sports. That's your correct answer. - Whoknows Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:57:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4657#comment-1786 Six from business? What, did they run out of newsroom positions to cut? - elerra Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:26:12 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4657#comment-1781 Although the media landscape is changing-- you'd have to be dead not to know that--to see people lose their job is SO hard. - wowwee Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:29:21 +0100
