Greenville News editor mum on f-word investigation
It’s been a week since the f-word made it into the Greenville News and executive editor John Pittman promised readers that “we will deal appropriately with it.”
Has the Gannett-owned paper done that? Here’s my email exchange with Pittman:
Good morning John. I’m checking to see if Gannett and your paper have found the person responsible for the f-word getting into your paper. If so, what was the disciplinary action?
Jim, we never discuss disciplinary matters. — john
That’s fine. But my question is: Have you identified the culprit?
Sorry. Nothing more I want to say on it.
I’d appreciate hearing from Greenville News/Gannett employees who know the status of this investigation. Email me at jim@jimromenesko.com
UPDATE — One of my Facebook friends wrote on my wall:
Gannett posted a News Page Designer job opening in Louisville (where most of the copy editing and page design for the Greenville paper is done now) on Dec. 3. Coincidence?
