Because each business has the potential for independent growth, the initial step in our evolution is to build excellent, standalone digital product operations for all three properties. Luckily, we pursue this next phase with an incredibly strong foundation, anchored by our three core businesses:, , and our Digital Marketplaces. This requires a re-imagination of everything from the structure of the organization to our strategy for identifying and developing new content areas. But like the best web product companies today, we must also develop the ability to build and iterate products with great creativity, discipline, and efficiency. We must continue to produce great digital journalism. In this phase in our evolution, we aim to become a world-class digital product operation. With the consumer web transforming faster than ever before, we must evolve again. At the heart of this success lies the ability to evolve our products over time alongside new trends in digital consumption.

A source passed it along to Media Nation. The main news here seems to be that David Skok continues his rise on the Globe digital side and that the company is still in ramp-up mode with the new. This email to Boston Globe and employees was sent out a little while ago by Andrew Perlmutter, executive vice president of Boston Globe Media Partners. Once part of the Journal Register Co., perhaps the worst newspaper chain in the country, and in more recent years a beacon of hope under Digital First impresario John Paton, the entire chain - which includes Massachusetts titles such as The Sun of Lowell, the Sentinel & Enterprise of Fitchburg and The Berkshire Eagle - is now believed to be for sale. In other dispiriting news, Paul Bass of the New Haven Independent reports that another round of deep cuts is imminent at the New Haven Register. (Founded in 1829, the Journal bills itself as the oldest continuously published daily paper in the United States.) Also, I assume that all 40 cuts will not be in the newsroom.Īlso, Philip Eil of The Providence Phoenix takes a look (link now added) at what the sale means for the venerable paper. Donnis’ source is impeccable: the number is included in paperwork GateHouse filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.ĭonnis does not say how many employees the Journal now has, and I was unable to find that number in recent coverage of the sale. The redoubtable Ian Donnis of Rhode Island Public Radio reports that The Providence Journal may shed up to 40 jobs once an affiliate of GateHouse Media has completed its purchase of the paper.

I urge you to contact your legislators and register your opposition to this language.Ĭurrently, G.L. The Massachusetts Newspaper Publishers Association explains:īill Advances to Block Access to Police Reports and LogsĬould Result in Protecting Perpetrators from DisclosureĪ legislative conference committee yesterday issued a report (SB 2334) that will close police reports and logs now open to the public. It’s easy enough to do, and I urge you to click here. I’ve already emailed my representative and senator. The Massachusetts Legislature may vote later today on Senate Bill 2334, which would block access to certain police records now open to the public.
