Jan. 12 post, important, on the Bee article error
See comments related to the Kearns (Bee) article (which was linked to from Romenesko today) at the Dec 2 NCFocus post about NCCRJ. Apologies for requiring registration for comments; completely anonymous ones were not civil.
Jeff Kearns in Sac Bee on the dump publisher movement, with a piece that comes out sounding pretty sympathetic to said publisher; it's interesting how differently someone can come across in the absence of links and quotes. People do say that he's a very likable guy in person.
(even if he does look scary in the photo)
At last we learn the position of Swift CEO Arne Hoel (who never did return my phone call, and who apparently wouldn't talk to Kearns about it either - "wouldn't talk about Ackerman, referring questions to The Union") - on a letter to a local resident:
"I have worked with thousands of newspaper people over the years and Jeff, in my opinion, is one of the best," Hoel wrote. "Jeff also has the gumption to take a position. Consequently, some readers love him, some readers hate him and some governmental officials fear him."
Publisher made waves in his previous position at the Nevada Appeal, here - partial results here, here.
New Doolittle-supported Sierra College trustee alleges funding improprieties and calls for Sierra College president's resignation.*

New policy re climate contrarianism comments as of 11/11/2009:
Comments questioning the climate science community's understanding of climate change (97% of active climatologists now believe that the earth is currently warming and that it's human-caused - link) will be deleted unless the commenter:
a) is local
b) uses his real name
c) provides link(s) to substantiate his claim(s)/inference(s)
d) is willing to collaborate on constructing an argument tree, to get us past the usual sterile point-counterpoint-countercounterpoint.
(For people who can't read the above, a summary:
1) Be civil;
2) Don't post w/o giving at least a pseudonym;
3) Don't espouse climate-denial crankery unless you're local and willing to stand behind it.)

1. Comments could be delayed: they are being moderated, and I'm sometimes away from the computer for a day or more.
2. : Perfectly legitimate comments are sometimes miscategorized (by the blogging platform) as spam, & not published. If this happens to yours, please notify me, else I might not notice for a day or two.
