Do As I Say

From the "do as I say instead of how I do" department.

The Newspaper Association of America's job is to promote the printing of newspapers, to promote the survival of the newspapers. The NAA lobbies in Washington and prints a glossy magazine: Presstime.

The Newspaper Association of America has laid off 48% of its employees, 39 employees. It has also killed its print magazine: Presstime and the Newspaper Association of America will only focus on their online website.

The Newspaper Association of America purpose is to promote the value of print as opposed to online-only products. John Sturm, the president of the Newspaper Association of America, wrote in a memo to his employees that the staff reductions were to:

  1. Ensure we remain an affordable value to our members
  2. Further reduce member dues
  • The name of the organization is the "Newspaper Association of America". The keyword is paper.
  • Am I the only one to see the hypocrisy?
  • You can fool all of the people some of the times, you can fool some of the people all of the times, but...
  • My customers can easily "smell" hypocrisy. So don't go to the "do as I say instead of how I do" department.
