Word coming out of Draper is that SNG just fired all of their junior staff, with the exception of one person. Is this the demise of SNG PR? Currently their logo is off of their building, so it would seem so.
I heard a story on KSL News Radio this evening on my way home from the office. There’s a local school district that had it’s board members vote for themselves to get quadruple the pay they are currently getting.
Sounds pretty outrageous right? Sure does, and that’s about all KSL decided to tell the listeners in the radio version of the story. What they left out was that the board members currently spend 20 hours a week working for $3,000 per year! So, yes, they quadrupled their pay to a whopping $12,000 per year. These are the same people who oversee an $850 million budget.
The odd part of the story, which KSL did report online is that these people can forgo District Health Insurance, which would add an additional $17k to their paycheck. Interesting stuff, but a poor revelation of the facts on radio, which leads to misrepresentation and misunderstanding in the minds of news consumers.
