At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Yeah, this is disturbing:
For the past two days, the DN has been full of articles explaining how these changes are going to put the DN at the leading edge of the newspaper industry. They are setting trends for the rest of the nation's newspapers to follow.In fact, most have been told not to talk to other news media. (This to journalists who have spent their careers getting people to talk to them.) A few were willing to share their experiences.
A while ago, I’m told, management conducted one-on-one interviews to “gauge [staffers’] adherence to the mission statement” that produced the overhaul. Later, employees were asked about their approaches to team leadership, their skills and abilities that would relate to the paper’s future work, their adaptability and demonstrated alignment with the mission and values of Deseret Media Co.
And whether the employee supports the principles of the LDS Church.
“I don’t come from within their value system. I don’t begrudge it. It’s their ship. It’s a 180-degree turnaround, and some people don’t fit,” another ex-staffer said.

this really makes me sick to my stomach. I'd always viewed the DNews as a respectable organization, but this removes any credibility they had.Dio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia

Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

This line has me shaking my head:
Who in the hell fires a journalist and then tells them not to talk to new media about it? What kind of journalist would honor that? Yikes.In fact, most have been told not to talk to other news media."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Yeah, what kind of journalist would honor that? They shouldn't have been reporting in the first place.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

Whenever you see the inside of organizations that are real close to the Church there are huge similarities with Catch-22.Comment

I know a few guys who work(ed) at the D News. FWIW, they told me they never had interviews like the ones mentioned in the article.Comment
