Bad Words at The Denver Post (Rhymes With "Frankruptcy")

Strange story from Westword media reporter Michael Roberts today regarding more weirdness at The Denver Post:

Last Friday afternoon, we published an interview with award-winning Denver Post reporter Miles Moffeit, who confirmed that he was jumping to the investigative unit at the Dallas Morning News. Moffeit had given his two-week's notice the previous day.

This item was subsequently featured on Jim Romenesko's Poynter.org journalism-news page, and the following Monday, Post editor Greg Moore told Moffeit to clear his desk and leave the office within a few hours.

Moffeit declined to comment for this blog. For his part, Moore, responding via e-mail, writes, "That is true. We paid him through his resignation date and everything he was owed. I felt it was better we part company right away. I felt some of his comments to Westword and their implications were untrue and injurious to The Post and it was better he just begin the next chapter of his career. I am grateful to Miles for all the good work he did here and wish him well in Dallas."

Which of his comments were injurious to the Post? Sources speculate that Post senior management objected to Moffeit's focus on the relative health of the Morning News in comparison to the Post.

About the Morning News, he said, "They've gone through the worst of their layoffs, and they have no debt at all, so it's not a drag on them. They've made a profit the last two quarters." In contrast, the holding company of the Post's owner, MediaNews Group, had just emerged from bankruptcy -- a word the Post avoided using whenever possible in its coverage of the filing.

We read the initial Westword story when it came out last week and didn't think anything of it. There were certainly no comments or quotes that would have raised any of our collective eyebrows. And if it's true that the Post objected to Moffeit talking about the paper's emergence from bankruptcy...well, that's just odd. It's not like it's a big secret that the Post went through a bankruptcy. Hell, who hasn't?

pure and simple. More will be revealed as this plays out.

It's only class warfare if you fight back

The Post will live on, there is a franchise there. The capitalization of the firm may need restructuring, but so does that of America since Barry'Os added trillions in debt after 14 short months
Tonight was the celebration of the last supper and Judas' betrayal of Jesus

When the Lord of the world comes and undertakes the slave's task of foot-washing - which is an illustration of the way he washes our feet all through our lives - we have a totally different picture. God doesn't want to trample on us, but kneels down before us so as to exalt us. The mystery of the greatness of God is seen precisely in the fact that he can be small...Only when power is changed from the inside, and we accept Jesus and his way of life, whose whole self is there in the action of foot - washing, only then can the world be healed and the people be able to live at peace with one another.

I don't think they will survive
What happens when the furniture stores pull their ads? That will happen sometime in the next 5 years as they find a more effective approach over the net.

I think the Post could survive if they get their act together on the net. But so far they appear to be trying to replicate the printed version on the web and that will be a failure.

Where all the cool kids will be on Saturday - Code War!

The Post Knows it should have closed rather than closing the Rocky Mountain News.
the D-N-A was always a scam to finally shutter the Rocky. more people read the Rocky and more people Loved the rocky.

The Post has been a joke of a newspaper for years and years.
yet they will fight to keep its failure a secret until the bitter end.
