The new executive editor is clueless, reactive, tempermental and untrustworthy. The corporate (McClatchy) interference gets in the way of a successful product for a market that the national leadership just doesn't understand. New initiatives are rolled out with fanfare and years of pointless droning corporate conference call meetings, but 80 percent gets dropped within months, making all of that effort a waste of time and effort that would have been better directed at just doing the job.
