04/21/10 This Greenwich Roundup Facebook Post About Former Greenwich Time Investigative Reporter Teri Buhl Needs To Be Updated

Greenwich Roundup Posted At Facebook

Greenwich Roundup Is Very Disappointed At The Fairfield County Weekly Newspaper.

Reporter Erin Holroyd wrote a print feature story on Greenwich Time Investigative Business Reporter Teri Buhl's firing but never interviewed her.

Fairfield County Weekly could have had a better story about local media if they had interviewed Ms. Buhl.

This clearly shows the sad state of local media in Connecticut ?

No wonder more and more Greenwich residents are getting their news from blogs and social networking sites like Facebook.

The incomplete story is now off of Fairfield County Weekly's homepage.


Why didn't Fairfield County weekly reporter Erin Holroyd mention that the very talented Teri Buhl was quickly hired by Fortune.com ?

Ms. Bulh is actually in a better position at a much more prestigious business news organizations.

She actually reaches more readers now.

You will note that for the record that......

Cowardly Fox Newspaper Reporter Charlie Gasparino,Trader Monthly publisher Randall Lane and Greenwich Time Editor in Chief David McCumber did not return repeated phone calls for comment about their involvement in Ms. Buhl's Firing.

Hearst Business Editor Jim Zebora, when contacted By Fairfield County Weekly, said he had no comment about Ms. Buhl's firing.

Why Are These Media Big Shots Hiding From The Press?

No one respects a news man that can dish it out but can't take it.

If these guys can't take the heat and should get out of the kitchen.

As a writer, you consistently run the risk of pissing someone off. For the particularly thin-skinned, writers can be a chronic pain in the ass. One benefit many journalists have is the protection and support of their editors. Former Greenwich Time reporter Teri Buhl says she was not so fortunate.

Buhl wrote a blog on financial news for the Hearst-owned paper. Last month, she was not only fired but her blog disappeared. Her work virtually evaporated, as if she were never employed there.

Why has Hearst chosen to take such a hard line?.....

UPDATE:

Fairfield County Weekly Issues A Correction:

We'd like to clarify a number of items in last week's story about the firing of Teri Buhl from the Greenwich Time ('Down the News Hole'), and her claim that her dismissal was the result of blog posts that she had written about Fox Business Network personality Charlie Gasparino.

Until her dismissal, Buhl was a financial reporter for the print edition of the Time and three other Hearst publications as well as a blogger. She has contacted us to let us know that she never received our reporter's e-mail attempts to reach her. Among the items she would have clarified: That Greenwich Time editor in chief David McCumber never stated to her that Gasparino's complaints were not a factor in the firing. In fact, Buhl has consistently stated that Gasparino's complaints to Hearst executives were partially responsible for her being dismissed.

Some Comments At Fairfield County Weekly:

Teri Buhl says ....

I'd like to thank my readers who have spoken out about this and have followed me to the other publications I am writing for now (Fortune.com, Business Insider). You can also read blog views of mine at christopherfountain.com.

John Says....

Buhl was the best thing we'd seen at Greenwich Time in a while. Thank goodness other news organizations had the good sense to pick up her stories - it would be a loss to the street not to have her watchdog eye out there.

As far as Gasparino - it's not like we are seeing anying decent come out of his Fox Business news reports. Who watchs that anyway?

I'd call Buhl the winner in this case.

Kevin says ....

Buhl wrote about Greed and Crooks

Gasparino is a jackass.
