I've got to figure Renaissance Homes owes 50 times that, given the unsold inventory they have in Bend alone.

... How do you walk the fine line between pimping and eviscerating an industry that ultimately funds your writing? Tough in today's economy.

Renaissance's problems aren't really a shock; it's yet another company that took advantage of easy credit and lost.

As for struggling over pimping for the advertisers, it's not really news. The struggle has and will always be there; how it's handled varies from newspaper to newspaper. (TV has it easy: The struggle was given up long ago when "TV journalism" went from being an oxymoron to science fiction.) The Bulletin's business department is a revolving door (Fischer's FAR from the first to leave under similar conditions) in large part because of that tension.
