Oregon Media Insiders

Let's revisit.
Owned by Lee - who cared about journalism.
Sold to Emmis - who cared about their stock price.
Sold to George Lilly who cared about making a windfall.
Sold to New Vision - that cares about making another windfall.

Who suffers: The embattled staffers who have had to suffer through this maelstrom of layoffs, firings, new managers, reduced benefits and changing rules.
Who suffers: The viewers who have less choice as Koin increasingly becomes marginalized in terms of resources and it's perception in the market by viewers. The ratings continue to slide; and will continue to head south.
Who suffers: Broadcast journalism in Portland - now worse off than ever.

Lynn has been a lightning rod since he hit the Koin basement. He never quite fit and if he's ousted, than so be it. But if the new ND is going to get rid of him, she should also get rid of most of the half-wits hired in the last two years from micro-markets and with little to no experience.

Koin: Once a well-respected station. Now: a joke.
