It’s time for the another News-Press update.
Via LAObserved, I get directed to this press release announcing the promotion of three staffers to new editorial roles.
I actually have great admiration for one of the people promoted, Charles Bucher. He’s an exceptionally talented designer.
But so is George Foulsham, one of the editors who quit, so I wonder if Bucher actually said the following, or if the words were put in his mouth (this is a press release, after all) as a clear slap at George:
“As assistant managing editor, my first priority is to improve the sophistication of the paper’s design,” said Bucher. “I am also committed to strengthening newsroom planning, improving newsroom communication and increasing web site partnerships.” (emphasis. added)
