What???
Total Circulation Figures Tell The Shocking Truth
Even with a 22% Increase the Greenwich Time still comes in third place behind the Greenwich Post and it's own sister paper the Greenwich Citizen.
Circulation Greatly Improved After Unpopular
Ex-Greenwich Time Editor Joe Pisani Was Fired
....The New York Times reported losing 3.58 percent of its daily readers to 1,000,665 and the Los Angeles Times dropped 5.2 percent to 739,147.
Five of the top 25 newspapers reported double-digit losses: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution shed 13.62 percent; the Houston Chronicle lost 11.66 percent; the Boston Globe lost 10.18 percent; the Star-Ledger, in Newark, N.J. shed 10.4 percent; and the Philadelphia Inquirer lost 11.06 percent.....
....The Top 25 participating U.S. newspapers reported varying figures, with the Houston Chronicle gaining 4.33 percent in combined print and online figures, and the Dallas Morning News reporting a 21.91 percent downturn from the September 2007 Audience Fax release.
Connecticut dailies the Greenwich Times and The Stamford Advocate had the highest combined print and online gains, reporting increases of 22.13 percent and 20.01 percent, respectively.....
Comment:
If You Want An Audience Start A Fight.
It Is Often Said....
All Publicity Is Good As Long As They Spell Your Name Correctly.
Or As Brendan Behan Said...
There's no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary.
Maybe All Of This Bogging About The Crappy Reporting About The Greenwich Time Has Helped The Greenwich Time's Online Gains During The Past Six Months.
As Greenwich Bloggers like Chris Fountain, Bill Clark And Greenwich Roundup Have Played Beat The Press With The Greenwich Time, Their Links Have Increased Interest In Local News And Provided Free Advertising To The Greenwich Time And Other Local Mainstream Papers.
Now You Know Why The Corporate Suits At Hearst Newspapers Look At The Greenwich Time Web Logs And Smile at all of That Internet Traffic Sent From Greenwich Bloggers.
Think About It.
What Have The Corporate Suits At Hearst Media Done Except For Firing Pisani And His Circle Of Insiders That Would Account For A 22.13 in Online And Print Gains.
What Else Has Changed At The Greenwich Time Except That The Newspaper Has Moved Away From Hyper Local Reporting And Started To Combine Web Site Features With The Connecticut Post.
The Sad Part Is That.....
Jim Zorba Is Probably Learning About The Favorable Audit Bureau of Circulation Report Today From Greenwich Roundup.
Managing Editor Jim Zorba, Has For the last Four Or Five Weeks Has Been Filling In For Ex-Greenwich Time Editor David Warner, Who Replaced Ex-Greenwich Time Editor Joe Pisani last May.
It's Not Like There Has Been A Cohesive Management Structure At The Greenwich Time That Could Have Orchestrated This Circulation Turn Around.
Years Of Greenwich Time Losses Were Reversed only During The Last 180 Days, Because Citizen Journalists And Bloggers Created Renewed Interest In Local News And Challenged The Mainstream Daily.
The Greenwich Time Has Learned That Competition Is Good.
In The Last 180 Days The Greenwich Time Is Up By Over 20%
Greenwich Roundup Is Up Over 350% During The Same Time Period.

That's An Awesome One Month Change
There Is Still No Google Top Links To Joe Pisani's Weekly Writings At The Greenwich Post Or At His Blog Called Our Greenwich.
There Are Just Old Authoritative Web Sites With Out Dated Information About The Ex-Greenwich Time Editors Former Career At The Greenwich Time.
Because These Authoritative Web Sites Have Not Updated Their Information On Who The Current Greenwich Time Editor Is They Are Quickly Losing Google Page Rank.
For example www.greenwicharts.org Has Dropped From A Page Rank Of One To A Page Rank Of Three In Just 30 days. With A Year This Page Will Be Deeply Buried In The Google Results If It Is Not Updated Soon.
When Most Of these Authoritative Sites Are Updated, At The End Of The Year, With Who The New Editor Of The Greenwich Time Is.
These Links Will Totally Disappear From A Search Of Joe Pisani's Name. Then maybe Joe Pisani's free writings at the Greenwich Post and Our Greenwich might worm there way past Mary Pisani and Joe Pisani Of Hackensack, New Jersey.
There Will Always Be The Highly Paged Ranked Greenwich Roundup To Tell The World About The Ex-Greenwich Time Editor Fondly Known As Joe "The Censor" Pisani.
Perhaps After Reading All Of This You Are Not Still Not Convinced That Greenwich Citizen Journalist And Bloggers Created A Renewed Local Interest In Hyper Local News That The Greenwich Time Benefited From.
Then Please Tell Us Specifically What Did The Greenwich Time Do To Get 22% More Readers.
Did They Hold Some Online Million Dollar Bingo Contest That Was Tied To Thier Game Cards In Their Sunday Paper During Th Last 180 Days?
Did They Cut The Price Of Paper To Increase Circulation?
Was There A Get 180 Days Of The Greenwich Time For Only A Buck Promotion?
Did They Add More Columnist And Features?
No To All Of The Above.
In fact, circulation soared 22% when they fired two editors during the 180 day period.
Maybe The Greenwich Time Should Fire Managing Editor Jim Zorba And About four or Five More Reporters so that 22% growth can continue at the Greenwich Time.

The reason in the paper was that two Board members were absent - one being Marianna Ponns Cohen. Very unlike her to miss any meeting let alone such an important one.

Did you know that every day 3,300 more children begin experimenting with prescription drugs? Are you aware that 70% of children who abuse prescription drugs admit to getting them from family or friends?
In lower Fairfield County, many groups have expressed concern about the level of prescription drug abuse being seen among children and teens in Lower Fairfield County.
It's why concerned organizations have come together to participate in National Lock Your Meds Day today, Oct. 27.
Lower Fairfield County Regional Action Council, the Police Departments in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien and New Canaan, the Greenwich Department of Health, the Greenwich Youth Services Council, the New Canaan Coalition, Family Centers' School-Based Health Centers, the Prescription Monitoring Program, many treatment providers, physicians, and others are supporting this awareness campaign, which is a program of the National Family Partnership.

GREENWICH ROUNDUP READER COMMENTS: It's Time To Beat The PressFocus On Greenwich Time Reporter Colleen FlahertyMissed The PointIt's a wonder that this reporter could have written about the local draft board and conscientious objector status, yet completely leave out the most infamous CO in Fairfield County-
Congressman Chris Shays. Why hasn't this paper written about Shays' claiming CO status during the Vietnam War? How did Shays manage to get CO status when he's not a Quaker, nor a member of a church that requires pacifism?
Shays is the guy who's been one of the biggest supporters of this senseless war in Iraq, and still favors keeping at least 60,000 troops there indefinitely, even though dozens are being killed and wounded every month even now.
How does Chris Shays claim CO status, even declaring that he would have refused induction into the military if he hadn't been awarded CO status, yet he sends other young Americans to fight and die, which he believes is immoral?

The Short Bus wins area awards and fansBY LAURIE LAWLESSHour CorrespondentLocal Greenwich band, The Short Bus, has recently become the first band to consecutively win both the "Grand Band Slam" poll by Fairfield Weekly Magazine and "Best of the Gold Coast" poll by Greenwich, Westport, Darien, New Canaan and Rowayton Magazines two years in a row. The Short Bus has actually won the "Grand Band Slam" three times now, and is the first band to win both awards at once, let alone two years in a row."It just goes to show that if you do what we've chosen to do, like stay current and remember our job is to make people happy, it really pays off," said Chuck Lovetri, rhythm guitarist and singer of the band.
The Short Bus is a band that is made up of Greenwich High School graduates and residents who have kept in touch over the years. Most of the members like Mark Zelenz, Ernie Albert, Chris Goane and Kenny Muller, have full-time jobs such as an MGM executive, a music studio owner, a company owner and an IT consulting firm owner. Meanwhile, Lovetri gave up his full-time working life, sold his company, and now goes to school full time at Columbia University to attain a PhD in Psychology.
Although the men have all jammed with each other for years, the idea of a band didn't come up until four years ago when a friend asked them to play at a party. From then on, it was "fate," as Lovetri liked to call it. Now all of the band members say they truly enjoy playing music on the weekends and are very appreciative of the fact that people come out to watch them perform....
....The Short Bus also plays shows for private parties and weddings and has recently been invited to play at Mohegan Sun's Wolf Den, which caters to a variety high energy performers, such as Blue Oyster Cult, Vertical Horizon and M80."All of the hard work leads to something that's really important and that's the value I give back to make all these people have a good time. But, it's also extremely therapeutic for us. That's what really bonds us with the audience," said Lovetri.
The Short Bus will be performing tonight at Route 22 Restaurant and Bar at 1980 West Main St., Stamford. For more information on the The Short Bus or any of their upcoming shows visit

His description of that disease, and his courageous refusal to be daunted by it, can be found
here.Dean and I were just email friends, though he liked my books and even plugged one - probably sold a couple of hundred copies for me, for which I remain grateful. What I regret is that, despite several attempts, we never met for dinner. At first we were going to meet half way between his home in Boston and mine, then I said I'd come up to Boston just for the pleasure. His health dropped off around then and we never had the chance again. I guess my point is, don't pass up such opportunities - make it a point to catch up with friends, go that extra mile. Because it sucks when it's too late.
