Lessons In Leadership And Chapter 11

An e-mail announcing that Philadelphia Media Holdings CEO Brian Tierney will be speaking on campus this Friday just landed in our inbox. This is, uh, kind of inauspicious timing considering that he filed for bankruptcy yesterday. Don't get us wrong, we're definitely pulling for the Inky and the Daily News -- this just reminds us of the time MTV asked Britney Spears (still very much in her hot mess stage) to perform at the VMA's in that it doesn't really seem like the best idea at this particular moment.
Oh well, it still might be a learning experience for everyone involved. Check out the announcement from the Fox Leadership Program:
