Tribune Fiasco

We have one Tribune property here in Seattle – Q13.Zell

There is nothing worse working at a local TV station, 2,000 miles away from the throne, knowing that the bosses are idiots.

That’s the sad situation every Q13 employee finds him or herself in however.

Wonder why a TV newsroom might have a culture that would think about putting commercial concerns ahead of editorial concerns? Wonder why news about, say an ugly incident involving SPD is swept under the rug? Just look at management – senior management.

This NYT article is pretty good: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/06/business/media/06tribune.html?_r=1
