Things people rediscover every day: 1. The glory of the sunrise or sunset; 2. The charm of a baby's laugh; 3. The bosses' bottom line.

Quote:
This morning I submitted my resignation as Production Manager and head of editorial at Journatic, LLC. I did so because the founders and I fundamentally disagree about ethical and management issues as they relate to a successful news business.

All consequential decision-making is closely guarded by the founders with little or no consulting of the senior editorial staff, whom together have close to 100 years of news experience.

In two separate meetings with the founders just yesterday, I pushed for the company to consider writing and copy editing quality when determining pay and promotion. Both founders responded with new plans to focus on production efficiency metrics while ignoring methods to promote work quality and pride.
