Well-known biz reporter at Cincinnati Enquirer is fired

Jim McNair, a well-known investigative business reporter who joined the Cincinnati Enquirer in 2001 from the Miami Herald during the Gannett’s paper’s attempt to beef up its business coverage, was fired from the paper last week, but says he was not given a good reason as to his dismissal.

McNair, 54, confirmed that he was fired in an e-mail to Talking Biz News. His name still appears on the paper’s list of business department contacts as of Monday afternoon.

In an e-mail, he stated, “I was called into HR late in the afternoon and was told that I had been terminated. When I asked why I was fired, my boss, business editor Carolyn Pione, told me that people had complained about me and that my conduct was unprofessional. I asked her for the source and the subject of the complaints, but she refused to identify them.

“The executive editor, Hollis Towns, escorted me out of the building without giving me a chance to take my personal possessions. If I had committed some kind of professional transgression, nothing had ever been brought to my attention. If I had offended someone through inaccurate reporting, it never resulted in any corrections, clarifications or retractions. There is no porn on my PC, I report the truth and I’m too lazy to plagiarize. After 29 years of reporting, I am left unemployed, with no severance pay and at a complete loss to understand how my performance could be called into question.”

UPDATE: Pione, in a phone conversation Tuesday, said she could not discuss the specifics of why McNair was fired, but she noted that the paper wanted to publish the stories on which he was working with additional reporting from other journalists.

She said, “The Enquirer is more committed than ever to aggressive coverage of business news. We hired a business reporter on Friday and we’re looking for a strong, experienced reporter to cover Procter & Gamble and downtown development for us. We’re also moving one or two reporters to business from elsewhere in the newsroom.

“And that’s all at a time when many newspapers are having hiring freezes, layoffs and buyouts. Cincinnati is a great town for business reporting, with nine Fortune 500 companies and many challenges to the local economy, and it’s great to be bringing in some fresh energy to tackle those stories.”

She also noted that Towns reads the Wall Street Journal every morning, and wants to make business a key part of the paper’s coverage.

If you remember what’s going on at the paper’s business section, the business reporters were told earlier this year that they would be put into the weekend reporting rotation back in February, which caused some consternation about what would happen if they missed a big business story. McNair was one of those upset about this move. In addition, the Enquirer has become one of the few daily metros in the country to get rid of its standalone business section. That caused one reporter to leave for the Columbus Dispatch, and its business editor to depart for an AP job in Louisiana.

Last year, Talking Biz News wrote about McNair and how a local company, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, had taken out a full-page ad in the paper complaining about his coverage. However, the CEO of that company has since been indicted.

The Newsache blog wrote, “McNair is old school. He is not a proponent of the journalism of hope and didn’t want to write about ‘good things happening.’ He wants to put people in jail. His coverage of Enzyte maker Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals probably helped do exactly that. He relentlessly covered the Erpenbeck and Fiorini financial scandals, and has kept the family feud at Check ‘N’ Go in the paper.

“But McNair’s brand of journalism made people inside the paper uncomfortable. The Enquirer has no history of providing this kind of hard-nosed reporting, so there was no natural spot for McNair in the newsroom, no investigative team for him to join and no editors who understand how to produce this kind of journalism It often took months for his work to appear in the paper. The Enquirer didn’t see fit to run much of his work on the front page.”

Back in 2002, McNair wrote the following for Nieman Reports: “Preemptive strikes by corporations whose dubious business or accounting practices are about to be exposed are merely another hurdle for corporate watchdogs in the news media. It doesn’t stop there. Competent business reporters are regularly blackballed for writing critical stories or for failing to trumpet a corporation’s business ventures.”

It appears that McNair was foreshadowing his own demise. I hope he finds another job.

Rape Porn Good Search engine rankings are tough to achieve. Understanding search Buy Meridia engine marketing takes years of studying and only Latina Girls people with true insider knowledge and secret tools Ativan rank well in Google right? Anime Porn WRONG. Pure crap as a matter Free Sex Video Clips of fact. Ranking well in the search engines is Buy Meridia not difficult. In fact search Buy Levitra Online engine optimization is relatively easy. What stops most Free Sex Movies people from ranking well in search engines is misinformation. Every Milf Porn week there’s yet another quick fix to ranking well in Asian Girls search engines and people jump from Ativan one quick fix to the Xxx Porn next hoping for that Top 10 position in Google Naked Boobs and never achieving it. There are 6 Hentai key areas of search engine optimization that you need to know about. Tadalafil Online These are the basics. Getting these right Amateur Teens will help you achieve the Google Girl Live Teen Webcam rankings that you’ve always wanted. Domain Name Meridia Diet Pill – The jury is still out Girls In Pantyhose on the how relevant a keyword Alprazolam Order rich domain name is. What Instant Cash Advance I mean by keyword rich domain name Bbw Sex is say for example your site Whole Life Insurance was going to be about Ambien Online money making ideas then an idea domain name Free Porn Clips could be either www.moneymakingideas.com or www.money-making-ideas.com. My own Online Payday Loans personal preference is with the Glory Hole hyphenated approach e.g. www.money-making-ideas.com simply Buy Ambien because I believe that search engines can read it Black Teens more easily. To registed your Free Chat Rooms domain name I would suggest using Gay Blowjobs either or Content – Useful Famous Pornstars content. Not keyword stuffed, spammy pages. Write something useful for Huge Tits your visitors. If you can’t write Fat Pussy then you’ll need to learn. Turn Words Into Animal Sex Traffic is a great Teen Ass resource for learning how to write content Buy Tadalafil and is a resource that I use personally. Turn Words Paris Hilton Nude Into Traffic gives you Famous Pornstars an A-Z on article writing – from Huge Boobs a writers perspective. If you don’t want to Hot Moms learn how to write content then you Hot Girls could always use Create Website Thick Girls Content Fast to help you speed the process up. Keywords Cheap Soma – Keywords are the words or Anime Porn phrases that you expect people Fat Pussy to search for your site/service/content with. Gloryhole There are two distinct factors Sexy Girls to consider when choosing keywords for your site. 1. Auto Insurance You need to target specific keywords. For example if you Term Life Insurance have a website about dating Buy Alprazolam Online then you’ll probably find it Hentai quite difficult to achieve high search Cheap Tramadol engine rankings initially with that single term. Teen Girls However if you were to refine an area of your Fat Pussy site to target say Gay & Lesbian Huge Boobs Dating that’s more specific. You could also regionalize Animal Sex your keywords or key phrases e.g. Gay Cumshot & Lesbian dating in Toronto. This refining process is often referred Free Chat Rooms to as niche (pronounced neech) marketing. 2. Japanese Girls You need to choose the keywords that Mature Moms you want people to find your site with. Put Teen Girls yourself in your visitors shoes – Online Debt Consolidation think about what they Milf Sex might use to find you in Lorazepam the search engines. What Buy Hydrocodone keywords or key phrases would you Adult Webcam Girl Live type into a search engine Free Adult Movies to find your site? What keywords or key Incest Sex phrases would your potential visitor use to search for Tadalafil Online you? Always, always think like a typical websurfer. Free Porn Clips If you’re interested in seeing what people are searching Buy Fioricet for on the web and Buy Ambien how profitable that might be for you Naked Boobs I would recommened that you check out Gay Blowjobs Good Keywords. It’s free and Girl Live Teen Webcam does a wonderful job of helping you find Gay Boys good keywords :-) I would also suggest that you Bbw Sex try Wordtracker also. It’s a Buy Fioricet brilliant service for tracking down specific, popular keywords. Keyword density – This Term Life Insurance is how often your keyword is used Hairy Pussy on the the page itself. For example if you Ass Fucking have 100 words of Japanese Girls text on a single Hot Moms page and you mention your keyword 5 times then you Milf Sex have 5% keyword density. Opinions vary on Latina Girls this but anywhere from 1% Generic Valium – 7% is considered ideal. If this doesn’t Generic Levitra make sense to you then it’s Asian Porn ok. The simple rule is this: less is more. Do Nice Tits not alter the text on your webpages Japanese Bukkake to include your keyword over and over again because………well…. Cheap Diazepam it looks stupid, won’t instill any confidence in your prospective Hairy Girls customer and might also get you Hardcore Fucking penalized or removed from the Xxx Porn search engines. Page title – Teen Porn Your tag is critical to Pink Porn Stars your page being ranked well. Stuffing Buy Phentermine your tag with keywords Tenuate Online in the hope of Alprazolam Order ranking well is pointless. Your tag, Huge Tits once constructed properly, will see you moving up the Free Sex Videos search engine rankings quickly. Bear this simple fact in mind when building Adult Webcam Girl Live your websites and it will serve you Nice Tits well. Links – Having good links pointing to Facial your site and good links within your Milf Sex site (an often overlooked aspect of se
arch engine optimization) Generic Valium is pretty important as far Buy Tenuate as search engine ranking goes. Hardcore Porn Having other sites linking to yours proves Cartoon Porn the importance of your site to the search engines Buy Sildenafil i.e. if the content on your site Black Girls is so valuable that other site owners Buy Phentermine Online want to link to it then it Rape Sex must be important. META Tags – Meta tags Buy Phentermine Online are dead baby. Well not quite dead Teen Gangbang but they are only used as a Buy Tramadol point of reference for search engines. It’s a Bukkake Facials shame to see websites that have their META Tenuate Online tags still stuffed with keywords. It’s pointless. Tranny Sex Put your primary keywords in the Meta Keyword part of Discount Phentermine your webpage but apart from that don’t lose any sleep Teen Ass or waste any energy Hairy Pussy on them. There’s not enough space in this Incest Porn article to explain all of the Cheap Health Insurance above in the detail that Gay Boys I’d love to. Also I’m not a Japanese Bukkake search engine expert so Meridia Diet Pill some of the explanation is best left to those that Bukkake Facials I learned from (Sean Burns and Jay Buy Vicodin Online Stockwell take a bow please Generic Fioricet :-) Having learned the basics of search Lesbian Sex engine optimization and submission I have achieved Top Buy Phentermine 10 Rankings for all of Hot Latinas my websites. It’s not hard to do Free Sex Videos this. It just takes work, a little patience Tadalafil Online and a little common sense.

A symbol Nude Girls logo uses an image or illustration to convey Bad Credit Personal Loans an actual or abstract representation of Buy Alprazolam Online your business.

However, because of its ambiguity, symbols often leave an Car Insurance open space for a wider Gloryhole and much different interpretation of what the Paris Hilton Naked business is about. Symbol logos Buy Vicodin Online may either take on a company name, Cheap Soma or create an entirely new symbolic meaning. A classic example is Hot Girls Nike’s “swoosh” logo.

‘s Mettle The following is Buy Soma an excerpt from the tips and techniques Ebony Girls provided by a designer Buy Meridia using Photoshop 4. He based his techniques from a Guaranteed Personal Loans current project of creating illustrations for a Nude Girls story of a mythical city in a Cheap Diazepam magazine. According to the designer, what is exciting Beastiality about using computers is that artists and designers like Buy Fioricet him are now able to fuse present technology Indian Porn with traditional art. They are Naked Celebrities able to do the things Naked Girls that used to be done in traditional art, but High Risk Personal Loans much faster and less waste Free Sex Clips with the onset of digital technology.

Even with the changes, Bad Credit Personal Loans the result of the project rarely differs from the Mature Moms original thrust and objective. Stage 1: Sketch and Digitization Sketching and Cheap Health Insurance digitization are almost the same in both traditional Teen Pussy art and digital technology. In traditional art, an Hardcore Fucking artist usually starts by Generic Fioricet making a sketch on paper. With Photoshop’s Big Cocks graphic palette, it nearly replicates the same Teen Pussy feeling.

In Girls In Pantyhose sepia, the lines of the sketch yield halftones that are Naked Celebrities more delicate, resulting to Beastiality an image that is easier to view but Tramadol Online retain its basic structure. The designer suggests adding Amateur Girls colors that do not compete with the Free Sex Video Clips lines in the drawing. Generic Levitra This may weaken lines from the original sketch. Free Porn Videos At the same time, the sketch Payday Cash Advance should not also overpower the colors.

  • It might be a bit of a stretch to equate Jim McNair's dismissal from the Enquirer with the overall industry trend of cutbacks in business coverage or cutbacks at the Enquirer. All that may be so. But as is the case with many issues involving personnel, it's rarely that simplistic. It does sound as though McNair's loss is a loss for the paper, but we have to assume that the paper's executive leadership weighed that and other factors before making its decision. You also have to assume McNair was told, over a period of time, that the behavior the paper did not like would have to improve by a date certain or disciplinary action would be taken.

  • This firing is shocking for so many reasons. His age, the lack of workplace protection (i.e. union), no benefits package, no executive parachute. And for what? Did he do his job professionally or not? We can only take the word of his corporate bosses. And they're being remarkably vague, considering they run a newspaper. Looking on the bright side, unlike the Soviet Union, the man was escorted out of the building, alive.

  • Spencer Rumsey: "We can only take the word of his corporate bosses."

    Not true; unless he did something that affects the paper, like plagiarism, the editors and HR would open themselves up to a lawsuit if they said why he was fired.
    It sounds like he failed to meet a deadline for behavior change, particularly if he was escorted out the building. Reasons that could lead to this type of firing: drinking on the job, sexual or ethnical harassment, conflicts of interest, we really don't know. But it's pretty lame that this blog is taking his side and turning this into his story. That's how embarassing corrections are made.

  • The Enquirer has history of fearing its own corporate community. That's why the WSJ always beat the paper in its own backyard.

  • He may well have a lawsuit anyway. I'm not sure you can dismiss somebody for cause, and then not produce a cause. "Complaint" of itself doesn't have any meaning.

    It's true that people on this site might automatically take Mr. McNair's side. But then again, if as Mr. Rumsey speculates there was gross misconduct it's more likely rumors would have preceeded any action.

    The Enquirer has had its share of run-ins with corporate Cincinnati, most famously its battle with Chiquita. I don't think it's the most courageous newspaper out there any more. I too am more likely to take Mr. McNair's side, and believe his firing was meant to placate somebody in the business community.

  • Ms. Ward, who worked at the Enquirer in the 90s, speaks the truth. In fact I think she ran into it. The Enquirer has "solved the problem" of an overagressive reporter or an editor before with reassignment or firing. Management by fear has been in place there for as far back as the place's institutional memory can probably recall. Or, maybe HE is NewsAche.

  • This is precisely why journalism is not a profession but, rather, a trade, at best. If, as appears to be the case, McNair was dismissed for doing a good job, then more than anything it is a giant, laughable black blot on journalism that there is no union and no professional organization that can take a stand on his behalf and force the Enquirer to back down. This kind of thing happens over and over and over again with utter impunity. We, as journalists collectively, are pitiable wimps.

  • I used to work with Jim at the Miami Herald. I feel really badly for him. He is an aggressive reporter and a good guy.

  • I have known McNair for almost 30 years. When I came to the Miami Herald after seven years at the Cincinnati Enquirer he was then at the Sun-Sentinel, and I recommended him to my boss at the time.

    With his firing, The Enquirer finally discloses what has always been the truth: Its business journalists get zero support for truly covering the community. The staff has always been talented, but management is so beholden to the privileged elite who run the community that stories are either blocked, watered down or buried.

    Don't forget the paper was once owned by local financier Carl Lindner, who never once spoke to the business section while I was there.

    I once had an editor get berated by one of the top managers, who said he didn't understand why we would ever make a business leader mad. Another time I wanted to do a story about a major announcement coming from Procter & Gamble, and I was told to wait for the press release.

    When Jim relocated to the Enquirer I warned him the paper could care less about in-depth business coverage. There have been great writers and editors go through, but upper management was always content to have us cover annual meetings and chamber of commerce luncheons.

  • After looking at today's business section of The Enquirer, McNair's firing makes sense. The section is filled with fluff and there's apparently no room for serious business reporting. Just another half-ass effort by supposed "journalists." And it's rather amazing that the paper never seems to break a story about P&G.
