The Rome News Tribune is a great place for me to work... i enjoy the people i work with and my customers are great... some complain from time to time, but if i accomodate their needs, and keep customer service a#1 priority, then things go much smoother. that is something all of us in the service industries need to keep in mind... it is the customer that keeps us in business. Our Customers are our lifeblood.. We are dedicated to building lasting relationships with them and meeting their needs with high quality service beyond their expectations. and go beyond that of which is expected to ensure a certain level of satisfaction. in my section of delivery service area im targeting at least a 95-to 99 % rate of success, and quality. i deliver quality..and i expect that in return... in my co-workers, and production staff and associates so i can deliver a quality product. and i pitch in and help ensure that .and i am rewarded for a higher success rate. i am a former AJC employee that retained the same work ethics instilled upon me during my tenure with that organization...which should prove to be an asset to the RomeNews -Tribune.this is the new winds of change that is taking place in this organization. the paper is not dead...not by a longshot....no news paper will be as long as there are people who love to read the paper'' no matter which one, whether it is romenewswire, or the ''trib''...or AJC, or some other newspaper... i still love to open upo a newspaper and read on a sunday morning, witrh a good cup of coffee, and a donut... while glancing at the news shows on television in my kitchen while the kids are still asleep... one of the few luxuries of my weekend.... (the sunday paper)....you betcha'..... rgm

When did you come over from the AJC? We too hired a former AJC person to do our delivery.  The AJC must teach um right because he is the best thing that could have happened for our circulation dept.

thank you for the props!.. the people of the ajc are a unique breed of folks. each of the co-workers that i came in contact with over the years were exemplorary workers. of course there were a few that didnt share the same vision, but there were so many that did. take care of your job- and your job will take care of you..was pretty much the work ethic that most shared...and when ajc came down with their decision to close the branch offices in both cedartown and rome...each of the employees were compensated fully for their loss... they were given such an excellent severance package, and at least 30 days of continued employment before full closure, that was helpful for everyone to spring-board into gainful employment elsewhere. i personally recieved 6 (six) weeks of salary minus fuel allotment,taxes...to compensate...and it was helpful for me as i used the money working concurrent with my new employer RomeNews-Trib... to put necessary repairs on my delivery car to get it in shape for another tour of duty with the new job that i was beginning. i have never been treated with such dignity, and respect by any employer as i have with both organizations... AJC was most helpful with the job transition, and that gave me such peace of mind.... so now i will try to do for this local organization what i did for the folks at AJC ..and improve on what i have already accomplished... and still give props to the RomeNewsWire as always for providing such a wonderful online experience and newspaper that completes the full circle of free flowing informatin in the Rome/Floyd county area, as none other has done in the past...Rome Has such a great media community, and that is because you and people like you make this happen....form the radio folks at all the radio stations to the television media ...to the newspaper and online experiences..... there is a world of information outlets available... thanks once again . RGM

only the young and the middle aged.... the baby boomers are quite a great percentage of our target audience... and those who live in retirement...they arent leaving us anytime soon... we as a newspaper will do just fine for a few more years...many more years to come...the research that is done is fine..but my customer base is growing slightly due to aggressive marketing on my part... and more to follow...i will be the one who sells bottled water to king neptune... and ice cubes to an eskimo.... that is sales...making it happen... rgm

Assuming all of us here are on the net, and own a TV, Please explain to me once again, WHY would I want to PAY for late information, when I'm already paying for current info. I haven't bought a paper in years. I just have no need to. Good luck selling them though.

I haven't gotten the paper in way over a year. Anyway, all of a sudden I've been getting the paper again. I find it in my yard every morning. Have been for 2 mos. or so. I still have a paper box, but it's hard to call and tell them the person isn't putting it in the box, but throwing it in the yard. I mean, I'm not supposed to even be getting it. Haven't gotten it in over a year.  Must have a new delivery person? Hmmm, I must remember to call and ask them to recancel my cancellation? LOL Nothing ugly intended, RGM. Best of luck to you.

Just ask the generation of fine folks who dont log on to a computer like you do.. they get their information the old fashioned way...and the want ads, and the comics and the sports section...and the coupons... of course you probably would like a few coupons yourself...unless you like paying full price for all your goods and services.... ha-ha... i know i like the coupons..and discountrs that are mentioned by caseys, kroger,,food lion...and other fine businesses... but im frugal...i like to save money and so do thousands of other fine floyd county citizens like myself.... so you be the judge....
