Long before the web starting killing off advertising, Dean Singleton was murdering newspapers throughout the land. All he cared about was the nameplate. He leaves a company that is dead in the water on the print side and so stripped and weak it can't build anything on the digital side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514745.post-54588442735752147082011-02-01T05:59:01.912-08:002011-02-01T05:59:01.912-08:00you are not slaves. leave. there arer choices out ...you are not slaves. leave. there arer choices out there. even in a very difficulty economic climate, look eleswhere. they are a terrible soul sucking organization run by dolts...go somewhere else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514745.post-44153262540805115152011-01-31T12:57:14.647-08:002011-01-31T12:57:14.647-08:00(Anonymous said...

No raises, furloughs, no vacation accruals, depleting their accumulated vacation time in a span of a couple of months. No future and no plan to improve the properties, just drawing that life out, i.e. money, for himself. If that is what he calls a successful 35 yr. CEO career, Lean Dean is sadly mistaken. He confuses fear for respect, because those who work for him do not respect him, but only fear that they are the next ones to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514745.post-11314517897162672232011-01-29T12:25:33.969-08:002011-01-29T12:25:33.969-08:00think of everyone who owns a sad newspaper about t...think of everyone who owns a sad newspaper about to plunge into despair, knowing the business model is hopelessly obsolete, wondering how to get out of the quicksand ... and here comes Dean Singleton, white knight on a horse: "I will buy your newspaper! I will even overpay for it, because I leverage and then file bankruptcy! I will also take the blame for all its impending failures, because I am a newspaperman." You can take it to the bank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514745.post-86026177139648785992011-01-27T20:45:33.382-08:002011-01-27T20:45:33.382-08:00Glad he has the balance sheet for expansion.
