Advice to Senior Management

Challenge staff more, and stretch their limits and their minds.

Pros

A good place for a reporter because of the vitality and constant change

Cons

A declining industry with few opportunities and limited imagination and willingness to shift to new technologies, such as the Internet

Advice to Senior Management

Don't hold back. Your local coverage is your most significant asset, something that is not duplicated by national services or competitors. It has continuing value, for expats, for research, etc. I'd love to hear a publisher say "The Internet can cut my production and circulation costs by 90%. How can I best take advantage of that?"
