    Hey, they're just acting like a lot of other newspapers! Give the top guy a shitload of money, and tell everyone else they're lucky to be working there.

    And what, pray tell, does this publisher do for that money?

    Not sure how much longer he'll be publisher... according to the Red & Dead (@redanddead815) twitter feed he just tackled a reporter from the UGA tv station (there are photos of him taking the guy down too).

    Wonder if the new Red & Black will run his police mug after he's charged with assault?

    If that's the job qualification, couldn't they have just hired this alum as the publisher:

    There is a clear implication in the memo announcing the new duties of the editorial director that there had been quality control issues at the Red and Black. Am just wondering if that is the case? And if so, if there are libel cases or serious accusations of malfeasance pending?

    I'm a R and B alum and care about the future of the publication. Does anyone know what precipitated this move?
