Fiscally Responsible

As digital media has evolved, newspapers business models have been challenged.  Our core products remain the foundation for our profit, but production and distribution of the printed word is expensive.  We must find ways to be more efficient to continue to produce relevant journalism for our communities while operating within our new revenue realities.  In operations in South Bend and Fort Collins, I was able to lead initiatives that gained significant efficiencies by  either in-sourcing the print and distribution of other publications, or by out-sourcing my products to another partner. I have also helped lead efforts to centralize like business functions across properties to secure additional savings and improved service.
