Denver Post old-school reporting only heightens Film Society intrigue

In addition to being a pretty good story all on its own, the ongoing coup at Denver Film Society is throwing up some interesting material for journalism watchers as well. Was the reporting influenced by an undisclosed conflict that Denver Post Editor Greg Moore's wife was a former Film Society board member who is largely credited with hiring the now-ousted staffer? Last week the Film Society staff reportedly decided that they'd had enough of executive director Bo Smith. More than 20 employees announced their intention to resign to send the message that Bo had to go. This, in a recession economy that has brutally cut into arts budgets here and everywhere. The dramatic result of the staff action is that the DFS board decided on Friday to fire Smith.

In a wide-ranging one-on-one with Colorado Statesman editor Jody Hope Strogoff, Denver Post owner and publisher Dean Singleton says he "wasn't surprised" Michael Bennet won appointment to the U.S. Senate.

Denver Post business reporters missing the story of their lives

Should the Denver Post begin to list and sink, you can bet the story will not be broken by the business reporters at the Denver Post. In the wake of the death of the rival Rocky Mountain News and as part of the narrative of a larger struggling industry, the business management of the Post is a major story but one Post business reporters seem less than interested in covering. They should be interested. If they start covering that story, and covering it hard, the Post executives might be forced into the kind of action now that could save the paper later.

Post, Rocky hope to profit from Obama editions — at some...

Call it the Newspaper Preservation Act of 2009. Act now, and you can shell out more than six times the cover price for a souvenir bundle of five inauguration-day copies of The Denver Post or Rocky Mountain News. That's right, if you call before -- well, before they run out -- the Denver Post Inauguration Keepsake Pack including FIVE Jan. 21, 2009, editions can be yours at the low, low -- I mean, horrendously inflated -- price of $15.50. That's for a set of five 50-cent newspapers, which would've cost ya a cool $2.50 at the 7-Eleven on Wednesday .
