I assume this is the post Norm is referencing on Twitter. But this post isn't about trying to embarrass Al. It's about how the RJ continues to embarrass itself (and a city) by refusing to have difficult, uncomfortable conversations about practices and decisions and, yes, people, who might not be the best suited for their position. The defense is sure to be "A good portion of our audience is older and may be unfamiliar with apps." That's fine, but "60 Minutes" doesn't dumb down its overall reporting to the level of Andy Rooney's "content." I'm sure he speaks to an audience, but it's a big picture decision to not have him front and center. The new editor was on NPR and said their highest priority is to make the RJ relevant. This is the area that demands the greatest level of scrutiny.Scott Roebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07008112686112039161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841356013250880291.post-23660128963909929762011-02-13T13:32:41.125-08:002011-02-13T13:32:41.125-08:00Any iPhone app list that doesn't include Angry...Any iPhone app list that doesn't include Angry Birds is suspect.....vespajethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058640011590681625noreply@blogger.com
