You're all over the place with this screed. Are you blaming her for the P-G's horrendous website? It's been bad for a long time, if anything, she's trying to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. Rochester came in and made things worse, then handed the baton to her. She should probably get a medal for even taking the job.
Thank the geniuses in the Audience Department for most of the garbage on the P-G homepage, including those stupid "quizzes." If it were completely up to them, they'd have nothing but ads on every square inch of the website, to hell with that pesky news content.
And how exactly does any of this equate to the steaming pile of garbage that is Upgruv? Seems like maybe you wanted to single out one person (surprise! A woman!) and pin vaguely-defined issues on her. Try connecting the dots a little more clearly next time you want to play the blame game. I'd be the last person to defend the P-G and its desperate attempts to become "digital first," but you're choosing the wrong target here.
The fact that she is roundly disliked by the Guild executive committee should tell you she's at least trying to make changes there. Who else is going to do it?
