SUN NEWS GETTING SCREWED!!!!

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 09:42.

I received an email that should be open to discussion, as requested. All I know about the Sun Press is that there isn't a newspaper for East Cleveland, so I don't read their product. My parents do, so I'll get their opinion on whether the Sun Press matters to them, or not. What about to you? Here's what one realneo reader thinks....

 

 

WOULD SOMEONE PLEEEEEEEEASE REPORT ON THE FACT THAT SUN NEWSPAPERS ARE BEING SWALLOWED UP BY THE PEE DEE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE'S EYES WITH NO ARGUMENT!!!!
THIS IS A THE BIGGEST SHAME OF THEM ALL!!!

 

Greater Cleveland's trusted LOCAL weeklies are being ripped apart by their parent company Advance, which is basically monopolizing newsprint in Cleveland by doing so. I'd say there's an anti-trust suit waiting to happen, seeing that both entities were supposed to be run separately when Advance bought Sun 10 years agio!

THIS SUCKS!!!!!! You tell me Roldo: Is The Sun Press the same paper you remember from years past. Or don't you even read it anymore?! Sun is the real LOCAL NEWS in town and the PEE DEE is destroying it after paying it's reporters and editors half of what their staff has been paid for years!

Circulation department dismantled -- one employee left.

PD handles advertising.

PD handles Publishing

PD handled recent redesign.

Executive Editor Linda Kinsey reports to Terry Egger.

20-year-plus employees bought-out last year.

Satellite offices rumored to close?

Sun News papers deing distributed with PD.

Why don't you care about the Sun . . .

people better before they all set!

Interesting this item takes realneo to this benchmark...

Disrupt IT

I pick up the Sun paper once

I pick up the Sun paper once in a while. I was once a subscriber but they don't even try to get me to re-sign.

I assume everything now relates to how to cut costs.

I have heard from a couple of people that their Sun paper was included within the PD. Don't know if that was a promotional thing or ongoing.

So I'm really not that much help, Norm.
