Bonus not-so-off-topic special: Monster Murdoch guts National Geographic
http://reverbpress.com/business/rupert-murdoch-national-geographic-layoffs/
The name now belongs to Rupert Murdoch, and he has plans for it.
The CEO of National Geographic Society, Greg Knell, tried to
claim back in September that there "there won't be an
[editorial] turn in a direction that is different from the
National Geographic heritage." Murdoch's move today only served
to prove Knell's words hollow, with hundreds of talented people
now served their pink slips. And with the recognition that
Murdoch's other enterprises do not reflect the standards held by
National Geographic, and with Murdoch's history of changing the
editorial direction of purchased properties, today's move
indicates that we can expect a similar shift for National
Geographic.
