Brian Tierney (left) wants to be the kind of guy who's celebrated in the business press for Reviving the Brand, says
Jason Fagone. "The idea that a newspaper owes something to its community beyond profits clearly isn't what excites Tierney anymore, and maybe it never did. What excites him is the possibility that this cobwebby enterprise of American metro journalism -- this business that belongs to the era of Charles Foster Kane -- could be made to rhyme with the values and business climate of 2007, and that Brian P. Tierney could be the guy to make it happen. Forget the civic experiment. Philadelphia Media Holdings is a mere business experiment now."
