When We Posted This Item.....
...The Greenwich Time had a significant head count reduction in the newsroom when many jobs were chopped, but apparently that was not enough.
As the Greenwich Time and Stamford Advocate begins its 2009 budget process the corporate suits at Hearst Media are expecting a tough year.
Insiders say that Greenwich Time staffers appear shell-shocked.
In addition to another pending head count reduction the paper is cutting back on travel, entertainment and supply budgets.
The Greenwich Time maybe going forward with a considerably smaller news desk. The source says that some soon to be laid off reporters work may still appear in the paper as freelancers....
.....The Insider says that the newspapers are planning to hike their newsstand price. The price of a single copy will jump 50 percent to 75 cents from 50 cents....
......Tribune's hiring of Lazard, meanwhile, brings it a firm experienced in debt restructuring, and one that has become a go-to adviser for newspaper companies in financial distress.
Even as its financial performance worsens, Tribune has some options. A sale of its Chicago Cubs baseball team is under way, and Tribune owns valuable stakes in businesses including the cable-TV channel Food Network.
Tribune already has auctioned off pieces of the company, including the Long Island, N.Y., daily Newsday to raise cash. Now, frozen credit markets have depressed sale prices.Selling off more newspapers may not be a viable alternative because buyers are scarce and Tribune may be better off holding onto the profits from its papers.
There Were Some Bloggers Who Wondered Who Would Be Fired...
Greenwich Time, R.I.P? - Greenwich Round Up says so. I have my issues with this particular blog’s antipathy toward the paper and its former editor, Joe Pisani,whom I like, but but its editor seems to have a direct line into the organization and several former and current
employees. His previous predications about the GT have proved accurate - his latest include a raise in the newsstand price from fifty to seventy-five cents, layoffs of still more staff (there aren’t many left so what are they going to do, fire the custodian?)

NO CHRIS FOUNTAIN, THE CUSTODIAN STAY AND GEORGE IRISH THE PUBLISHER OF THE GREENWICH TIME IS FIRED !!!!!
George B. Irish is "Retiring" as president of Hearst Corp.'s newspapers division after 29 years with the company.
As part of George Irish's severance package he will .......
...... become vice president and eastern big bucks director of the William Randolph Hearst Foundation of California and The Hearst Foundation Inc. of New York. Both are independent entities with no direct ties to Hearst Corp.
This should prevent any nasty emolyee wrongful termination suits.

About George Irish's Fancy Nancy Party At Jan and Bob Dilenschneider's Home In Darien
We Thought We Should Report About The Joe And Susie's Connection To The Insiders Event.Joe Pisani is working for the Dielenschneider Group as a marketing consultant/PR man?
For those who don't know, this is a very small firm that gets little to no action. Check their web site. It has only a few things to click on.
And Joe Pisani and this Susie think the residents here in Greenwich care to read the entire party invitation list of some unknown guy in Darien trying to drum up business? Is Susie working in NYC now too? At the same place as Joe Pisani? How would she know who was invited to some insignificant get together? This is a very small world.
This is the most absurd information I've read. I know Brian Cashman. I'm going to find out who really went to this shin-dig and what really went down. I'll keep y'all posted about Joe Pisani, Susie "The Dish", and the Dielenschneider Group.
By the way, you can read so-called marketing guru Robert L. Dilenschneider's failed attempt at social networking. Dilenschneider's 2007 blog that had only one post here. This makes one wonder how many other failed projects that this second rate ad agency has had.
TOPS Toss Out Pisani/Susie
Comment:
Wait a minute. I need I am getting confused I need a score card to keep up with Joe Pisani and his former student Greenwich Gossip Columnist Susie "The Dish". Ex-Greenwich Time Editor Joe Pisani new boss is hosting a party for his old boss.
Is Mr. Hersham aware of Greenwich Post Columnist Joe Pisani's maneuvering in the background to make secret contacts with the Greenwich Time?
Did Greenwich Post Editor Kristan Zimmer approve of Joe Pisani's back channel contacts with the Greenwich Time?
Will Jan And Richard Dilenschneider host a Fancy Nancy party for Mr. Hersham and his friends?
Will Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy and his wife, Cathy attend Mr. Hersham's 'What about Me' Darien party?
Will Bishop William Lori attend Mr. Hersham's 'what about me' Darien party?
Will Mr. Corvino of Greenwich Hospital attend Mr. Hersham's 'what about me' Darien party?
Will Nancy and Walter Raquet, CEO of WR Capital Management attend Mr. Hersham's 'What about me' Darien party?
Will Jim Cabrera, managing partner of Antares attend Mr. Hersham's 'What about me' Darien party?
Will Lincoln and Irene Millstein attend Mr. Hersham's 'What about me' Darien party?
Will Greenwich Post Gossip Columnist Susie "The Dish" be a brown nose and write a glowing story about the 'What About Me" party in Mr. Hersham's newspaper.....
Now wait a minute let me see if I got this right.
Mr. Hersham is having Greenwich Post Editor Kristan Zimmer Have Susie "The Dish" Give A Glowing Report About Ex-Greenwich Time Editor And Current Greenwich Post Columnist Joe Pisani's Boss Throwing A Party For Greenwich Time's Publisher George Irish.
What's Up With That?

NEW YORK, NY -- 12/10/08 -- Hearst Corporation today announced that Steven R. Swartz has been named president, Hearst Newspapers, the operating group responsible for Hearst's newspapers and yellow pages businesses. Swartz will also become senior vice president, Hearst Corporation.

Irish, who has served as president of the Group, is retiring after 29 years with Hearst Corporation and will become vice president and eastern director of the two Hearst Foundations, the William Randolph Hearst Foundation of California and The Hearst Foundation, Inc. of New York, which are independent entities and separate from the Corporation.
The announcements were made by Frank A. Bennack, Jr., vice chairman and CEO of Hearst Corporation, and will be effective Jan. 1, 2009.
Swartz, 46, takes over one of America's leading newspaper groups, where he has been executive vice president since 2001. Hearst Newspapers, with more than 6,500 employees across the nation, publishes 16 dailies and 49 weeklies in cities including Houston, San Francisco, Seattle, San Antonio and Albany. Under Swartz's leadership, Hearst played a key role in founding the newspaper industry's consortium with Yahoo!, launching the industry's partnership with the online real estate company Zillow and forming quadrantONE, a national online sales network co-owned by Hearst, The New York Times Company, Gannett and Tribune.
Commenting on the announcement, Bennack said: "The world of newspapering is undoubtedly changing and Hearst is at the forefront of building new models that will transform the way we do business. Steve, alongside George, has been instrumental in forecasting and implementing the changes we have to make to be successful in the future. I congratulate Steve and thank George for his many contributions to the Corporation during his nearly three decades with Hearst Newspapers. We wish him well in his new role at The Hearst Foundations."
Swartz also led Hearst's acquisition of a majority stake in Metrix4Media, a Frisco, Texas-based search engine marketing company that now supports the sales efforts of numerous newspaper and yellow pages companies.

Prior to becoming CEO in 1995, Swartz had been the magazine's founding editor since 1991. Under his leadership, SmartMoney won two National Magazine Awards and was Advertising Age's Magazine of the Year.
Irish, who will turn 65 in February, has successfully led Hearst Newspapers since 1998. Under his direction, the Group invested in operations and expanded its journalistic enterprise both in print and online. Before leading Hearst Newspapers, Irish was a vice president and group executive for Hearst Newspapers, a post he held since 1993.

He currently serves on the boards of the Newspaper Association of America, the United Way of New York City, the International Center for Journalists, the READ Foundation, the Nieman Foundation Board of Advisors and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism Board of Visitors.
