No, the Incline is just as bad as BBO, a.k.a. "Bertetto's Bungled Offerings."

Gannett put startup money into Billy Penn/Incline and they are large enough to do that. The other side of it is they will expect RESULTS in the form of rising "readership" (an oxymoron in this case) and potential profit. No corporation this bottom-line oriented will indefinitely pump money into an "experiment" by people seeking a new "cool" format appealing to millennials unless it shows clear potential to make money.

Queen Jennifer wants to build a name with her half-baked attempts to save a bottom-rung operation that was never more than a paranoid billionare's fantasy. If what she's done so far is any example, a lot of people have no reason to pick up the Trib or even read it for free online. Her efforts strike me as last-ditch in nature.

The story below reveals the Trib is about the only place Jen ever worked, so she doesn't bring wide-ranging publishing experience to the table. Of course a stellar resume was never needed to get ahead at TTM. Ask Ralph Martin.

Jen's big achievement: abandoning the dubious proposition the Trib is and ever was "the fastest growing newspaper in America."
