08/23/11 The Greenwich Red Cross Is Taken Over And Will Now Be Known As The American Red Cross Metro New York North Chapter

The Westchester County and Greenwich, Conn., chapters of the American Red Cross are to be combined under a consolidation that officials say will strengthen the organization's emergency response capabilities and make it more efficient.

The merger, announced today, also includes Lower Hudson Valley chapter operations in Rockland, Putnam, Orange and Sullivan counties, which until now had operated as part of the New York City-based Greater New York chapter. The new chapter will be known as the American Red Cross Metro New York North chapter.

The Red Cross say the new structure allows them to better realize efficiencies, particularly in times of disasters, and will further improve their ability to provide help to those in times of need

The Greenwich Red Cross CEO is out and Mary Young has been tapped to lead the newly combined chapter.

The merger includes a 10 percent reduction of paid Red Cross staffers, who were informed earlier in the summer that they would be laid off by Sept. 1........

08/24/11 The Earthquake That Was Felt In Greenwich Is Still The Talk Of The Town, Despite The Poor Local Coverage In The Greenwich Time

THE GREENWICH TIME'S LOCAL NEWS COVERAGE IS A JOKE

Hearst Newspapers daily illustrates a point on what’s wrong with much of the “local news media” today.

The Greenwich Time's news gatherers with great access to specific click of the town's news makers and they are inclined to ‘pitch them softballs’ rather than ask the more important in-depth questions.

The good news (pun intended) here is that access is rarely an absolute requirement for solid, in-depth reporting. In fact, with smart research (clue sniffing) and an understanding of the beat they cover a news gatherer can dig deep and drill out the facts to develop a good story with.

There is a reason that the money losing Greenwich Time can only distribute 5,000 to 6,000 papers a day and that the New York Times has a better penetration rate in the area.

Greenwich Time reporters just run town hall and board of education press releases through the spell checker, before hitting the publish button. If the Greenwich Time wants to stop its steady decline, then it needs to get and hit the bricks and talk to the towns taxpayers and parents..

Yesterday Greenwich Was A Buzz About The Earthquake And The Greenwich Time's Website Had No Local Coverage And Regurgitated Connecticut Post Reports Out Of Bridgeport.
