Yep. Nothing like out-of-town corporate ownership!
I don't expect anything good to come of this, but at least Benji Eason is out of the picture. You'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger boob in the weekly biz. The Readers founders deserve a raspberry, too. You think they would have wanted the paper they built to thrive. Instead they cashed out to the highest bidder and headed for the hills with their pockets stuffed with cash. And the people that worked for them took it up the tailpipe.
Now the Reader will, I predict, be sold several times in the next few years. What a pity.
"But what, asks Eason, does Atalaya know about running newspapers?"
And what, pray tell, does Eason know about running newspapers????
Wotta putz.
