More on the Durham Herald
The Independent posts its special report on the changing of the guard at the Durham Herald.
"Metro reporters will be expected to write 10 stories per week under new 'guidelines,' sources in the newsroom say, and the front page will feature three local stories each day," one story says.
While I'd like to get 10 stories a week out of our reporters, I want to get special reports on St. James and Homestead and school hit lists more. (Besides, if I demand that sort of productivity, they might expect me to model that behavior!!!)
And this: Owen Van Essen of the brokerage company that handled the sale of the paper to Paxton "says complaints about the paper's new ownership are unfounded. 'Paxton is a very good newspaper company. You make yourself a little note to do a story about the newspaper a year from now, and I guarantee that it will be every bit as good as it is today.'"
If you can get your hands on it, the dead trees version of the weekly has a great double-truck on the sale, including a Photoshopped photo of a tidal wave about to crash over the newspaper building.

That picture seems a little inappropriate considering the ongoing news about the destruction caused by the tsunami.
