    That's the assumption in terms of the papers coming together. People are pretty certain it will happen. Yes, Fort Collins gets printed in Denver, but part of this deal is Singleton got new printing presses (two years old, I believe) near Loveland in the Longmont/Loveland deal

    Dean loves him some new or refurbished printing presses, boy.

    Regional consolidation would be a disaster.

    He's been doing it in NoCal and SoCal with predictable results. Nothing new.

    Media News can always sell the presses they acquried to some third world publisher. The company can probably get a lot of the cost of the acquistions back.

    Well ... the presses that were in Fort Collins ended up in Durango, so one never knows ...

    And the bazooka continues to be used. LANG gets slammed. Again.

    http://www.laobserved.com/archive/2011/02/pay_cuts_for_everybody_at.php

    5.5 percent pay cut starting Feb. 13 -- but to no less than $10 an hour (how generous). Management takes a 10 percent cut now.

    "Unlike furloughs and vacation accrual freezes, the wage and salary reductions will not be temporary."

    Here's the memo, with the usual bullshit of "sacrifices" and other management jargon.

    Yep, it's a hard sacrifice for those execs. They'll have to cut down on their boat purchases this year.

    Gotta' wonder if this goes companywide. I think they announced furloughs at LANG in early 2009 and then eventually spread the news to the rest of the company.
