GateHouse bought this paper from Gannett a few weeks ago. So who knows what that will mean for this publication.
This is a 26,000 circulation paper.

Bosak still there?

The company who owns this paper has changed, but it's the same clowns running the circus here. I would be very, very careful with this one. Gatehouse will be fully in charge soon, but I suspect a house cleaning to happen at some point, so it could be a while till they fill this one. The ad doesn't say so, but it is a very real possibility one of the main responsibilities will be UConn men's basketball. Any one who wants info on this opening, feel free to pm me.

Bosak?

Chris Bosak? He was there a few years ago, and I thought he still was.

Definitely no Chris Bosak there.

This one can become a classic, Wicked. It's sounds like you really want it to be one. ;D

No. Nothing can top the first usage of the "I would rather cut out my own anus and eat it" line that came out of the thread three or four years ago.

LMAO. I think it was more like two years ago, but I remember that line very well. You're right, nothing can top that.

Any word on this job?

This place loves to drag its feet when it comes to making new hires. They probably won't make a decision until the summer months.

This place likes to get its arse kicked by The Day in New London.

That is also true. I wonder if GateHouse will admit The Day is competition, because Gannett doesn't believe in competition.

Chris Bosak was/is Norwalk, not Norwich.

Khary: Cheap shot. i'm sure you remember when the arse getting kicked was The Day's, and yours.

So uncool to go ahead and quasi-out someone.

I have no dog in this fight, but facts are facts: The Day at present kicks The Bulletin's ass up the coast to Westerly and down the coast to New Haven, then back. It's a fact.

 

[nbalum]

Didn't know you could out someone signed in under his own name.

And the idea that the Day kicks the Bulletin's ass is not in dispute; just the source.

Not that I'm defending the Bulletin, but they don't even cover anything on the coast. That being said, they still get their asses kicked in their own backyard.

Funny story I heard from someone who works there. Some famous Norwich architect died either late last year or early this year. The Day had the story, the Bulletin didn't. Obviously it didn't look good that the Bulletin didn't have the story. So the ME tells the city desk to call the family's of significant Norwich figures who might near the end of the line and tell them to call the Bulletin first, minutes after that person dies.
