  • The Road to Frustration
    T he road to frustration. In Missouri, where highways are among the worst in the nation, drivers are paying with their lives. Journalists at The Kansas City Star turned the spotlight on a sovereign highway department with a troubling history of waste and mismanagement. Nearly half of U.S. roads are rated good or very good. In Missouri, that number drops to 15 percent. Driving on that state’s under-funded, poorly maintained highways is a tooth-rattling, bone- jarring experience. And motorists are paying the price with costly repair bills and an alarming number of accident-related fatalities. In a detailed, scientific study, Kansas City Star journalists examined more than 3,800 miles of highways across three states and mapped Missouri’s worst stretches. They also exposed the state’s Department of Transportation (MoDOT) as a bloated bureaucracy that operates with almost no accountability or oversight. The Star’s two-part series, “State of Disrepair,” provided readers with detailed analysis and reporting that identified the problems and potential solutions. As a result of The Star’s investigation, Missouri’s state auditor called for sweeping changes at MoDOT. And residents of Kansas City learned how a Knight Ridder newspaper always goes the extra mile for its readers. The Philadelphia Inquirer The (Columbia, S.C.) State Duluth (Minn.)

    ALL MEDIA JAMES BATTEN AWARD FOR PUBLIC SERVICE 1) The Miami Herald; Jack Dolan, Matthew Haggman & Rob Barry; Borrowers Betrayed Comments: The Heralds series on crooked mortgage traders is good, old-fashioned investigative journalism involving a lot of time and resourcesthe very thing rapidly disappearing from our profession. The series reflects the big mess afflicting the whole country. It also brought very swift action that one hopes will prevent catastrophe for more Floridians. 2) The News-Press; Amy Bennett Williams; Tomato Pickers and Burger King Comments: This series was ambitious, original and deeply protective of the public interest. It focused on an issue that had not already made headlines everywherethe definition of enterprise. The tomato series followed the activism of a workers advocacy group, but it didnt just report on the groups complaintsit investigated them and, in a sense, verified them, giving voice to folks trying to address injustice. 3) Bradenton Herald; Donna Wright & Staff; Surviving the Squeeze Comments: The Batten Award is for public service and thats what the Heralds series delivered. It demonstrated how the economic meltdown was affecting local citizens and outlined what services and options were available to people in trouble. It also moved readers to help their neighbors and replenish stocks at food banks and the like. NEWSPAPERS & MAGAZINES DEADLINE NEWS REPORTING - LARGE 1) The News-Press; Rachel Myers, Denes Husty III, Pat Gillespie & Gabriella Souza; Death of Officer Andrew Widman Comments: It had been 78 years since a Fort Myers police officer had been killed in the line of duty.

    Compiled and Designed by Nancy Cotterman Varner Assisted and Edited by Susan "Froggy" Frohock Layman THANK YOU I wish to thank everyone who participated in sending your biographies and photos for the Manatee High School Remembrance Booklet I have dreamed about creating. It has been worth the many, many hours, e-mails, phone calls, etc. to put it together for you. After seeing some memory books of other classes, I thought it was only fitting that the Class of ’63 should have a booklet. I would like to thank Sam Hershfield, Jim Carraway, Vern Oblisk, for their contributions of material, and "Aunt" Jeannie Oliver who loaned me a previous memory book where I obtained much of the history information. A special thanks goes to Sue “Froggy” Frohock Layman for co-laboring with me and editing. Thank you to all who took the time to write your biographies and submit your photos. I have read each and every one and feel I know you even better than when in high school. I hope you will enjoy reading this memory book as much as I have doing it. For any of our classmates who read this, but did not send in your information, There will be updates on occasion, so send your data to Froggy who will work with Vern to incorporate it into the booklet on the class website. The information in this book is correct to the best of my knowledge. Please accept sincere apologies for any errors or omiss ions. For the sake of space, it was occasionally necessary to condense some of the information.

That belief has now been substantiated through the Initiative’s Impact study of newspaper readership, led by the Readership Institute at Northwestern University. The study shows that forces outside newspapers’ control – such as the explosion of competition, a perceived lack of con- sumers’ free time, and demographic changes – are dwarfed by the things that newspapers can control. They include the kinds and levels of service newspapers provide, the emphasis of news content, the relevance of the brand the newspaper creates, and several other large solutions to grow readership. Newspapers are in a powerful position to act on these oppor- tunities. Over the last five decades, other media have proliferated – and their audiences have fragmented.

    Dear Colleagues, This will be a long note; there is a tremendous amount happening that I want to share with you. Our shift to a functional organizational structure this year has brought new vitality and efficiency to our work, and has driven results. It has helped us to scale digital best practices across McClatchy, create new cross-functional teams with shared expertise to improve how we serve our customers and move more quickly as a digital news organization. Of course, change is challenging and many of us have new reporting lines, have joined new teams and are learning new ways of operating. We’re grateful for how this OneTeam has embraced these changes with energy and determination. As always in a dynamic media and technology environment, there is more work to do to ensure we continue our digital transformation. In the next steps toward our digital future, we will streamline our functional structure and reduce operating costs in order to move even faster to ensure we are essential to the people and communities we serve. We are making changes in core areas of our organization -- in News, Finance, Product and Customer and Operations. Some additional details on how we are advancing organizationally will be shared with you by the leadership of your functional team, but I’ll summarize highlights, milestones and priorities. Before diving into these headlines, I want to begin by sharing a leadership change at McClatchy and pay tribute to the work of two tireless and brilliant colleagues with whom I have had the honor of working since I joined the board six years ago.
