Bidders Check Out Copley’s Library
Like David needed another 11 million...selling the paper...killing health benefits for retirees...makes you believe in heaven and hell since there's no justice in this world. Just whose heart did he get - was Scrooge's cryogenically frozen and refurbished just for him??— July 1, 2011 2:14 p.m.
David Copley Retains High-Priced Downtown Influence Peddler
I'd like to know the identity of the person who died so David could get a new heart. He or she must've have been someone totally evil. David effed the retirees out of their health insurance and is living high on the hog with more money than he could ever spend in his miserable existence. Jim and Helen will surely spank him when he passes on. David singlehandedly financially ruined hundreds of lives and I hope he rots in hell.— April 11, 2011 7:40 p.m.
Surprise: Union-Tribune Solicits Employee Suggestions
Re #45 Don, SOSD moved out of their high rent space and crowded into Mission Valley. Revenue was growing @ 25 to 40% a year. Copy is essentially free. Web hosting is cheap. Believe me, they are profitable...— February 19, 2010 4:39 p.m.
Surprise: Union-Tribune Solicits Employee Suggestions
response to #38... Don, you continue to show ignorance of the business side. A while ago you said the Sports section was profitable when the fact is it was second only to the Sunday TV book as a money loser. Now you say the online wasn't making money. It was slow going, but by the time Jennewein left, SOSD was profitable and growing revenue every year. Once they fixed the obscene commission schedule things got even better.— February 15, 2010 11:37 a.m.
Surprise: Union-Tribune Solicits Employee Suggestions
I was there... 400/500 was the bastard child of an offhand remark by Bell regarding Circ efforts. It took on a life of its own when ambitious minds morphed it into a plan. The only problem was that their plan was to grow the News staff. Work out made progress until it tackled "deadlines" and rammed its head against the brick wall intransigence of the newsroom (read as L.C.) and the only result of three days of meetings was their "agreement" to create a committee to further study the issue. That was the end of work out. Partners 2000 made progress until it became a turf and control issue between finance and advertising. Decentralizing ad production and finance functions into "teams" where some members were more equal than others just made matters worse. During Bell's last years he was gone more than he was there - dropping in to dump and play "stump the dummy".— February 11, 2010 6:45 a.m.
Union-Tribune Axe Falls Again. Kittle Reportedly Out
54.#54.Response to post #36: Traditionally, the sports section has been quite profitable. Best, Don Bauder Don, WTF are you talking about? The only section that lost more money than Sports was the TV book. Filled with massage parlor ads and tire stores it could never support the bloated Sports department. Your knowledge of the Biz side is abysmally slanted and factually incorrect.— October 6, 2009 2:51 p.m.
