Comments on: Inquirer Staffers React to Tierney’s “10 Percent” Threat http://www.phillymag.com/blogs/philly/2008/01/23/inquirer-staffers-react-to-tierneys-10-percent-threat/ Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:49:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.1 By: Jane /blogs/philly/2008/01/23/inquirer-staffers-react-to-tierneys-10-percent-threat/#comment-2548 Jane Wed, 13 Feb 2008 22:35:32 +0000 /blogs/philly/2008/01/23/inquirer-staffers-react-to-tierneys-10-percent-threat/#comment-2548 Tierney and his pals should have to turn over his financials before he cries no money. Having already started and sold several companies, it's hard to imagine Tierney didn't know what to expect with the Inky. My guess is he and his pals are pocketing the profits and trying to slim down the staff to bare minimum so he can sell in a few years. As I recall, Tierney only agreed to be CEO or a partner for what 5-6 years? He's a flip the biz kind of guy. Tierney and his pals should have to turn over his financials before he cries no money.

Under this model, the newsroom is no longer the core purpose of media, it’s just overhead."
