Time Warner Back In Control... But Where's Steve Case?
from the party's-over dept
After yesterday's news that Bob Pittman was out at AOL and various Time Warner execs were sizing up his office, many reports pointed out that the "revolution" was over and that the adults had returned. However, one name that was missing from most of these reports was Steve Case. AOL's dynamic founder, and still the chairman of AOL-Time Warner. The NY Times has an article saying that many are hoping Case becomes more involved again. Case, himself, points out that he's Chairman and not CEO, and that his role is more to be a sounding board than a leader.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Why should he return?
I'd say his plan was excellent -- why should he change?
