Publisher/General
Manager - Publisher/General Manager available with all the
qualifications and experience needed to publish an aggressive,
reader-gaining newspaper, but who will not compromise professional ethics by
burying coverage of local corruption . If you agree that many local
newspapers are boring and have “sold-out” in the communities they are
supposed to serve, then you know why so many of them are losing circulation
and revenues. Community involvement and leadership does not mean
prostituting the free press. I can attract great people to write, sell and
produce your newspaper. I can build your readership, revenues and profits
while making your newspaper the best publication it has ever been. In
practicing aggressive journalism, I have never personally nor have any of my
newspaper employers ever lost any contest to the truths I have published or
even expended any monies to defend those truths.
Accountant-managed newspapers and comfortable independents who have either
forgotten or never knew that “rocking the boat” when local politics get out
of hand and championing the causes of the good citizens of a community are
some of the things real newspapers and journalists do, will not want to
respond. I have successful and profitable weekly, semi-weekly, daily and
newspaper group experience in sizes ranging from 1,500 to 104,000 paid and
free circulation and distribution. If you want to find out more, please
inquire at
