One generally takes management memos with a grain of salt, sometimes thrown over the shoulder for luck. Romenesko takes them and then does the research.
Orlando Sentinel managing editor Elaine Kramer has taken an “opportunity of transition” at the paper to “reassess personal priorities” and resign, editor Charlotte Hall wrote yesterday.
Romenesko links this with a Howard Kurtz story rapping a Sentinel project on OxyContin in which Kramer says “We made a couple of mistakes” like not knowing that their poster-boy for accidental OxyContin addiction was earlier busted for cocaine and had a history of domestic violence.
