Lest someone think this signifies a journalistic association, you
delivered newspapers. You managed many people who delivered the papers.
Your role was supply management, which is not to take away from the
responsibility, but you have never had any job reporting or handling the
news in any way, except to toss it onto the doorstep. Implying otherwise
is to claim expertise to which you are not entitled.

Gee, Stella, I guess I wasn't making a distinction between the pressroom,
the newsroom, circulation and marketing. I've held positions in three of
those four realms, and, as head of marketing, met with, directed, and
interacted with the newsroom folks at the highest levels.

In other words, I told the newsroom people what to do in order to maximize
sales. That's hardly "delivering papers" -- although two of the companies
I've owned since then *did* deliver newspapers. All over the better part
of two states.

Or did you think I bought the hotel with my paper route money?

Strangely, the one department I never worked in directly was the newsroom --
despite the English degree I earned with the intention of becoming a
reporter. I *did* write some articles (and still do now), but it just
worked out that I was quickly promoted beyond the newsroom, and never looked
back. Later on I parlayed these management positions into my first two
businesses.
