Macleans magazine management is mad

Kenneth Whyte has been appointed (who appointed him is a mystery) editor of Macleans Magazine. Why? He destroyed any credibility Saturday Night Magazine had when he took on the editorship of that magazine ( under the guidance of his mentor and lawful friend Connie Black). Amonst all the pieces he himself penned about his pal Tories like Ted Byfield, Preston Manning, Diefenbaker, Mulroney, and John Charest, he ran fluffy pieces on hockey players, boxers and other Tories. So big Kenny then takes over the National Post, a new upstart unabashedly right of centre daily. His stories of the great Ralph Klein and Stockwell Day don't seem to resonate with anyone outside of Alberta and the newspaper loses money. Whyte gets fired. So... to someone in the Rogers family (owners of Macleans magazine) he looks like the perfect person to take over a weekly newsmagazine, which by their very nature are doomed to failure in this modern time of instant information. I don't like the magazine's chances for staying alive with Whyte calling the shots. Are the people running Rogers mad? Looks like it from here.

  • Looks like Kenneth is a "nose-dive" specialist, and in this day and age maybe Macleans saw the writing on the wall. They are doomed, the weekly format is not working and they want an experienced man at the helm to pilot gently but surely straight into the ground.
