Don't expect to find the most important news story this year on Ch 23 - Univision. But you can see fake kisses, unrealistic drama with models with alot of Lipstick!
"What is it?!? Spanish language viewers don't care? OR Univision takes them for granted!?!
Millions of American viewers of every walk of life, color, background AND LANGUAGE watched tonight the first Presidential McCain-Obama debate. But you wouldn't know it if you watched Univision. No Señor! Univision tonight is "serving" their viewers and public interest well.... by showing a novela. Yes, you heard it right, a NOVELA!! "

BELO RIFS/SLASHES 270 DALLAS MORNING NEWS/AL DIA JOBS
For 270 The Dallas Morning News employees there is a new 3 letter bad word - R I F.
A. H. Belo Corporation emailed employees a letter saying the voluntary severance offer (VSO) extended to the Company's newspaper employees in July has been completed and 413 employees will leave the company - 270 at The Dallas Morning News.
In addition, BELO said an involuntary Reduction In Force (RIF) will be completed by mid-to-late October to achieve the necessary remaining workforce reductions. That means lay offs for many.
The RIF is limited to the news, production, customer retention call center, and Al Dia departments at The Dallas Morning News;
The combined workforce reductions are expected to result in a savings of more than $29 million on an annualized basis - blah blah blah " said Robert W. Decherd, chairman, president and Chief Executive Officer.
"These job actions are part of a restructuring of our newspaper operations that accelerates the allocation of resources to promising new print and online products while focusing our workforce on A. H. Belo's local content creation and sales capabilities. We greatly appreciate the dedication and service of all A. H. Belo employees who are leaving the Company under the voluntary severance program. I'm confident that we're taking the right steps to realign our resources to meet consumer and advertiser needs while maintaining the exceptional quality of A. H. Belo's journalistic products," he said in letter to all BELO employees.

Sedeño leaves S-T, named editor of Texas Catholic
David Sedeño, publisher of Spanish-language La Estrella until the Fort Worth Star-Telegram folded the publication back in April, moves on to become the new editor of the semi-monthly Texas Catholic and the monthly El Católico de Texas. Both papers are published by the Diocese of Dallas.
David has been on the S-T editorial board and doing editorial writing full-time since April. He started with the paper in 2004, when it was Knight-Ridder publication. Before that, he worked 9 years at the Dallas Morning News.
"The opportunity came to me. I didn't seek it," David told me. "This is an opportunity to lead a public I believe in, with growth potential." How does he feel about leading a religious publication? "I was born and raised Catholic. Faith is important to my family. I want to give back to my community."
David admits the past 18 months have been rocky and at times unpleasant: "I had to let go more than a dozen people." Despite that fact, he says a "safer job" was not a consideration in accepting the editor position at the Texas Catholic. "I really believe the future is in niche products. I think that's where the growth is... and in superniche publications, you're getting to the core of what people truly desire and need."
David leaves the S-T at the end of August. He's due to start on the new job September 1.

BLUE MONDAY AT THE DMN - 14% OF JOBS TO BE CUT
The Monday morning after Unity, The Dallas Morning News reporters awoke to find an email in their inbox announcing 14% job cuts - around 500 people throughout the BELO owned papers.
The company will make voluntary severance offers this week to employees at its four daily newspapers, including The Dallas Morning News, with the goal of completing the process by mid-September.
“We believe that the resultant, smaller workforce – focused intensely on products that take full advantage of A. H. Belo’s local capabilities in content creation and sales – is best suited for the business opportunities that will define our future success,” Robert Decherd, BELO CEO said.
“We have to be prepared for a wide range of possibilities driven by changes in the competitive structure of the industry, new technologies and rapidly-evolving media usage habits,” Mr. Decherd told shareholders.
