Diamond City editor and former Weekender reporter (among other media gigs) Gene Padden is leaving the top job at Diamond City to become an intelligence officer for the Navy, Padden writes in his farewell column. "I won't be allowed to talk about my job, ever," he writes. Noted.No word if he will be replaced or if DC will run as a subsidiary of Electric City.
Gene Padden + military intelligence = the biggest oxymoron I've ever heard ... and I do mean moron.
ReplyDeleteMy prediction: Death by friendly fire ... in boot camp.
ReplyDeleteDC is already subsidiary of The Electric City.
ReplyDeleteDC is already subsidiary of The Electric City.
ReplyDeleteHe HAD to get out of NEPA. He was on the ropes at Times Shamrock and had already burned his bridges big time at the Times Leader. What, did you think he would join WBRE with his pathetic weekend reports?Terrible, terrible, terrible is the only way to describe his TV performance. His military gig is a pathetic version of joining the French Foreigh Legion.
ReplyDeleteI worked in the accounting office and in the early 2000s at the TL even the weekender sales coordinator was making more than the 5 year salary for a reporter. Gene was an editor. He made more than most reporters except for the lynotts who have been there for years. Management just didn't want you to know that. I now work for a small family company but I wanted to set the record straight. Reporters are usually the worst paid at a paper.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of his farewell..."being a prominent face in the local arts/entertainment scene comes with a shelf life, and for me, having lived this job 24-7 for years, that's enough. I did radio. I did TV every week. Trust me - I'm as sick of myself as you are."
ReplyDeleteNo-o-o...I don't think that's entirely true. Talk about delusional.
He ran what amounts to the school paper, in essence another TS vehicle in which to paste ads. Three backpage massage ads pretty much brought it up to breaking even every week. If he was making a decent buck he wouldn't be going anywhere but as it stands now he's decided to go off and "play army (or in his case Navy)" and I think 1:05 hit it.
As far as 2:10's insider revelation goes, maybe I'm not following as closely as I should but who are the Lynotts?
My prediction? They'll let him out due to compatibility issues and he'll be back looking to regain his once-prominent facial status in the arts/entertainment scene by this time next year.
Another genius who thought he was more clever than he actually was.
ReplyDeleteSwami says: 8 months, dishonorable discharge, bunk mate's complaint of Padden wetting his pants nightly resulting in unwanted golden showers gets him tossed. Then it's back to NEPA where he's hired as the Penguins Mascot for the remainder of his life.
ReplyDeleteWhat pap. Did you actually read his "final column?" Like the Navy's just been waiting for him to free himself up so they can give him his top-level clearance and get on with the business of protecting our nation from evil.
ReplyDeleteThe best line? Had to be "I have always considered my years of publishing free weekly newspapers to be a community service, so the Navy's core values of honor, courage, and commitment really aren't anything new for me." Yeah Gene, putting out a rag with pictures of bands and karaoke night drunks at local watering holes in it...almost exactly the same thing as serving in the military. Looks like you have a pretty good handle on things going in. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Wow some of you guys are bitter. Putting out a rag such as DC is a very lucrative business.
ReplyDeleteI commend him. If there's any group of people you DONT want an endorsement from, it's the bitter losers in this forum.
ReplyDeleteThe number of posts alone show how well read he was. Call him dumb all you want, but he got under your skin, again.

Looks like a ringing endorsement of Gene's work from TT to me. Go back to writing your municipal meeting stories you losers.
ReplyDeleteNaval Intel officer = driving a truck past IED's in Iraq. Good luck Gene, you'll need it.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the claim that he was becoming an Army Ranger? Didn't meet the height requirement?
Log back on in ten years to see if he becomes James Bond.
More like James Bail Bonds.
ReplyDeleteKey words: "versatile journalist with strong writing and editing skills; the ability to work with freelance writers; the ability to work within a team environment; very active and identifiable personality within the local arts & entertainment community."
Everyone knows that Padden was on lockdown in a little office at the CV working with no one because of his personality disorder. Even the receptionists hate him. Every freelance writer/photographer working for him refers to him as "The little Dick Wad" and newsrooms from the TL,CV and TT all think he's a joke.
That ad was written by Padden to give himself the ultimate pat on the back. No one's going to miss you, bub.
Worked with him at the Weekender. He really was the meanest, lowlife EVER! And he HATES women!! He really was a monster when it came to our editor, Kristi Grier. He shoved so many knives in her back, bad-mouthed her to the entire staff and even tried to get upper management to fire her. Guess what? She's still there and he was eventually squeezed out. Good riddance he's leaving. NEPA will be a better place.
ReplyDeleteNever worked with Gene. Barely know Gene. He always seemed like a tool. Am out of NEPA. I will write this: The guy gets credit for having the stones to sign up for full-time active duty military. Regardless of how much of a prick/imbecile/ass he is, I am impressed that he's taking the step he's taking. It's a giant leap for guys in their late 20s and early 30s, to toss away a comfortable career sitting behind a desk for the possibility of, yes, driving trucks in Iraq.
ReplyDeleteGood for him.
I'd rather drive a truck in Iraq, too, than work with these NEPA jerks.
ReplyDeleteThe paper Kristy left to be GM at, Philly Edge, has folded. So much for her ability. She was a newsroom pawn so Allison could control the Weekender. If you worked with Kristy you certainly were in the dark about why she was there. It wasn't talent.
ReplyDeleteThe tool only signed up with the armed forces because he ran into trouble with Uncle Sam and his taxes. Nothing noble about it. Just him weaseling his way out of trouble once again. And I'll guarantee he's stationed nowhere near Irag. With his daddy's connections, Gene will end up guarding an embassy in Canada. Oh yeah, and they'll hate him there too.
ReplyDeleteSpill more on the taxes angle. That's news.
ReplyDeletePadden is the love child of the unholy alliance between Allison Walzer and Pete Yaksick. Behold, this demon seed has the characteristics of both.
ReplyDeleteDiscuss.
Kristy is back at the TL as editor of The Abington Journal.
ReplyDeleteShe still hates Gene.
wasn't pete yaksick the tanned investigative guy from WBRE??? Where did he go?
ReplyDeleteWasnt old Petey boy running the bar at the Old Victoria Inn in Avoca.
ReplyDeleteHey maybe Phil Yacubuski will take over DC,,all hes doing these days is prancing around the Kings College Campus...and when hes not doing that hes instructing students there on how to be a legend in their own minds like he is.
ReplyDeletePadden is a self promoting talentless ass.
ReplyDeleteAll of the neg. posts are SPOT ON!!
I could not say it any better!
Padden hired Yacuboski to write for diamond city. too bad he writes like he speaks. heyna or no? As for Padden -- I worked with him and let me tell you, he's no Pete Yaksick.
ReplyDeleteA post-operative Walzer with a tiny pee pee?
Most definitely.
Tax troubles??????
ReplyDeleteWas his accountant that Shectman creep???
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please everyone. Stop bitching about Padden. Otherwise, the Navy brass will read these posts and decide not to take him. I can't stand the thought of having to work in the same room as him for another minute let alone another year. Let him quietly into that good night.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS HILARIOUS! All of you should write for major network shows!
ReplyDeleteThis is just like an episode of the Office.
ReplyDeleteThat's what she said.
ReplyDelete4:42 Jan. 14
ReplyDeleteNo kidding. You can't in any way, shape or form count The Weekender as public service of any sort on a resume. Delusional.
The Weekender was/still is a public service for those who chose to party unlike most of the asses on this board who probably tend to their fat wives and ugly stupid kids. I don't know one 21-30 year old who doesn't read the Weekender. That's more young readers than the TL or CV can ever hope to have. Plus it has the Model. Oh La La.
ReplyDeleteEvery 21-30 year old (and older) that I know opens the Weekender from the back, looks at the "model", 8 out of 10 times has a good laugh and then doesn't give it another thought yet EC/DC wishes they thought of it first. And good riddance Padden.
ReplyDelete11:32 -- Carten is not "just an idiot." He is much, much more than that.
ReplyDeleteLike the pine trees linin' the windin' road,

I guess even Napoleon had to start somewhere. But if you know him, you know there has to be more than this than him being a good citizen. I see him ending up like the kid in "The Last Detail."
ReplyDeleteanyone notice the job ads lately? Speaker looking for full-time copy editor; leader seeking music critic/entertainment writer, a copy editor and a receptionist. Any speculation on who's moved on or got bagged?
ReplyDeleteHey..i know Tom Carten...I had him as a teacher...and as a moderator for the Kings College Radio Station (WRKC) and hes far from an idiot the man just has a home spun, Norman Rockwellish way of writing throw in a little bit of George Orwell and you have a very insight man.Another thing not many people might know is that everyday, rain or shine, sick or healthy he gets his ass up and does the RADIO HOME VISITOR which for you out of the loop puds..is a radio reading service for the blind and those who cant get a paper..its a service that many people cant live with out ..and he does it without fail 365 a year.And if you think thats easy..well it isnt.
ReplyDeleteoh my God, that praise of Carten makes me want to violently, thoroughly an ehatically throw up. he's evil
ReplyDeleteCarden is a pathetic excuse for a priest.Padden is a pathetic excuse for a patriot. Both harm America. What would Jesus do?
ReplyDelete-First, he'd spell my name right.
ReplyDelete-Second, he'd sign his own.
-Third, if he was really pissed at me, he would state his reasons clearly instead of saying I'm a pathetic excuse.
But --hey-- I left radio because of long hours and low pay; got into ministry and found long hours and low pay. But a better retirement plan. ha ha, that's a joke. You see, it goes like this....
I GOT A NAME for ya: BLOWHARD!!!
ReplyDeleteTo Hell with this Tom Hardon or Cardon or WHATEVER his name is, CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK ON POINT!
This is ALL about GENE!!!
GENE!GENE!GENE!GENE!GENE!
Hey Tom, THOM, TOMM: GO talk to Jesus,go spell your name with Jesus!
WE DON"T GIVE A F!*k!
WE WANT GENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Weekender wouldn't be where it's at today if Gene didn't work there.
ReplyDeleteThe birdcage?
ReplyDeleteGene and Tom Orbutz near ran The Weekender into the ground. They gave away ads, filled it with crap articles and destroyed what those before them had built. Afterward, they were handed their asses by Walzer and McHugh. Orbutz ended up in charge of the TL's car shopper and Gene was demoted to writer/layout boy. They both fled to Allentown's Pulse but that sagging rag couldn't support Padden so he high-tailed it home. Don't know what they were thinking when they hired him at Times Shamrock. One paper's garbage is another's treasure I guess.
ReplyDeleteI work at The Morning Call (a former TL alum) and Pulse Weekly just drove our weekly, Merge, out of business. Pulse drives management nuts here. I don't know Orbutz but even some of us at the Call read his paper to find out what's going on.
ReplyDeleteto 11:48 obviously you aren't in management since you don't know the whole story. The bottom line is Walzer didn't like anyone who left the newsroom and McHugh didn't like anyone who worked for Manzi.
ReplyDeleteWho cares about the Weekender. Padden ruined it. Grier and Student ruined it and moved to a paper that is now out of existence. This thread is about GENE, mean GENE. If you want to talk about somethin else start a new goddamn thread. I like talking about GENE
ReplyDelete12:06 said: "The bottom line is Walzer didn't like anyone who left the newsroom and McHugh didn't like anyone who worked for Manzi."
ReplyDeleteAnd no one likes Carten
I'll meet you on Main Street at High Noon. Nobody downtown anyway, so there won't be any witnesses. :)
ReplyDelete11:55 Jan. 15
ReplyDeleteThe Weekender is an excuse for advertising revenue. What planet do you hail from? Public service to partiers, sure. No one is "reading" the GD thing. Scanning it for drink specials, sure. You don't need to know how to write, edit or manage in order to run the rag. Just be a "personality."
Just what our armed forces need; a party rag personality in the "intelligence" service.
Rock on dudes.
It isn't an excuse for ad revenue. It IS ad revenue. Do you know what those papers bring in each year???? Obviously not.
ReplyDeleteHey, Gene-o, winning a couple games of Battleship doesn't qualify you for Naval Intelligence.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how it works at the present time but it wasn't too long ago that signing up for any branch of the military guaranteed you only the training of your choice, not necessarily the job. If you did well and they needed someone with that training at the time you'd completed it you'd end up with the job you trained for. But if your performance in training was not so great...if there was even one guy who did better than you and they only had one position to fill well "No one can take that training away from you. Here's a mop." Now I know it's probably different when you sign up and already have a degree. Most likely you get a nicer mop.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe someone is shallow and hurtful enough to attack Father Tom on here.
ReplyDeleteHe has always kept his posts professional and for the most part light-hearted.
And, like he points out time and again, he actually signs his name to what he writes.
Yet some snippy coward, who apparently enjoys slamming kind-hearted souls, kicking puppies and drowning kittens, has to bash the poor guy.
I generally like reading this blog, but have never posted here before. Until now.
Not everyone is a hater, Father Tom. You do have a lot of friends out there in this world.
This site used to be alright now its turned into a lash out site for failures and wannabees (not entotal ,their are some stable people out there who have moved out of their parents houses and have created lives and careers for themselves I dont want to broad brush it)....anyone agree???Hey im not the biggest fan of TOM CARTEN BUT THERES NO WAY HE DESERVES THAT KIND OF ABUSE.
ReplyDeleteTom half these people are just jealous that they are lousy reporters in NEPA and will never be anything more. Padden will better himself for sure especially being away from the driveling idiots that comprise the newsrooms of the TL, CV, SS, and ST. What a bunch of fucking babies here. I am now out of journalism but as an owner of my own business I would NEVER hire a former reporter. If they have that on their resume it gets tossed. Now you know why. Just look at this board. The ones posting are the lowlife reporters who have NO control over their jobs. They are told what to do like the BITCHES they are. Grow up, stop attacking everyone who has bettered themselves and move the fuck on, right out of NEPA. We don't need or want you here.
ReplyDeleteBTW, wouldn't he have to survive OCS first before he became an "intelligence officer?"
ReplyDelete"Intelligence officer" is what he signed up for. What he becomes is another matter.
ReplyDeleteAsk all the guys who wanted to fly planes, work as translators, etc. Nothing is guaranteed in the military other than length of time you sign up for.
Tobyhanna, look out, here comes Gene.
Can the TOM CRY BABIES start their own :"TOM VICTORY TOUR" thread and GET LOST.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS ALL GENE ALL THE TIME!
WE WANT GENE!
Why are people riding on Gene's coat tails on this blog?
ReplyDeleteIf you want to be hated and berated,start your own thread.
Why do you need Gene?
Get hated on your own don't use Gene Padden!
Your a bunch of Gene wannabe's.
Gene is a super star of NEPA vitriol de jour....
God! This is the best entertainment he's ever been associated with!
These pathetic losers are entertaining. It seems all they do is demean people who are more successful than them.
ReplyDeleteHe's not very successful nor highly paid. He's a shmuck who's hooking his star on the military. Let's not forget, Gomer Pyle's initials are also GP.
ReplyDeleteCoincidence? I think not!
WHAAAAAHHHHH! WHAAAAHHHHHH!
ReplyDeleteCRY BABY, GENE/Tom/TL/EC/DC/CV LOVERS........GET YOUR OWN THREAD and have a telethon!BOO HOO HOO

ReplyDeleteThis guy is getting way more attention than he deserves. He's more popular than Connor in these parts. By the way, I believe he went from the TL to EC and immediately wrote a shitty, thumb to his nose column in EC about the TL.
ReplyDeleteSay what you want about Obrzut but the guy knows the business. I'm not sure what is going on at Pulse weekly but he made the Weekender what it is today.
An earlier poster said Pulse weekly just knocked the Morning Call's weekly tabloid out of business.
ReplyDeleteI heard Lane Filler killed Jesus.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone confirm?
Slow news night guys?
ReplyDeleteYou newspaper types have way too much time on your hands. One of you actually had some time to write out lyrics to the Village People song. How very '80s of you.
On the other hand, no doubt the past 20 posts were written by the same person.
A serious question: Has a real alternative weekly -- and I don't mean the toilet paper that is Electric City and the Weekender -- ever made a go of it in NEPA? It seems like fertile ground for such a publication. Well, not really. But it would be nice to have.

A serious question: Has a real alternative weekly -- and I don't mean the toilet paper that is Electric City and the Weekender -- ever made a go of it in NEPA? It seems like fertile ground for such a publication. Well, not really. But it would be nice to have.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall any in the time I've lived here, especially one that lasted with good, hard content.
HOWEVER: We have all the makings of it right here in College NEPA. Just in my experience at King's, which has to extend to the other colleges, there are people who can report and write intelligently on whatever the alt wants to cover.
The students need real-world experience and college credits; they will be writing on subjects they are interested in. Co-op with a school in Philly and/or Binghamton (for credit or just portfolio).
Do articles worth reading, but not so long that people drop out halfway through. Ask yourself, "Do our readers give a **** about this?" Or, "Is this something people don't know about that they should be told?"
The CV or TL can print it easily enough; they (at least the CV, my only experience) do enough work for burgs throughout the Poconos.
Hire an editor for reasonably good pay, walk a few mock-ups around town to potential advertisers.
This area (NEPA) needs an alt. I think it can support one, but it has to be good: solid subjects, well-written, well-edited, clear view of its purpose.
yawn.................
ReplyDeleteFather Tom,
ReplyDeleteYour idea on having local college kids write stories for an alternative weekly, that will never happen at TS's Electric City, which also pretends to pawn itself as Diamond City.
The managing editor at the CV doesn't believe the local colleges have very good communication/journalism programs. It's true, he told this to us at the CV during a daily - and wasteful - standup meeting.
An alt in NEPA would make no money. That's why there's the Weekender and EC/DC. Kids read them. Besides kids today don't want to read boring, long, well thought out articles. That's why the biz is in the trouble it is today.
ReplyDeleteThe fact of the matter is none of the local colleges teach journalism well. That's because they focus too much on theory and not on the nuts and bolts. I can't tell you how many times I've seen local grads come into a newsroom and have no idea about A.P. Style or how to spell. Your major programs such as Syracuse, Missouri and Penn State drill those things into kids' heads before they graduate. But it's lost on the local schools.
ReplyDeletePadden is indeed a shit.
ReplyDeleteHello folks! What is all this talk about there being no real alternative publication hereabouts?
ReplyDeleteThe Westsider is as alternative as it gets and it's still in business. A little too alternative if you ask most people.
Padden's an asshat. If he does for the armed forces what he did for NEPA, we'll all be speaking Chinese in five years.
ReplyDeleteGranted, the local colleges aren't Columbia or Syracuse when it comes to journalism. But now and again, they do produce graduates who can actually think, which in the long run is more important than the so-called "nuts and bolts" stuff. You can teach a kid out of the U of S to open a stylebook in his or her first hour on the job, and they'll figure out how to use it. And trust me, graduates of the "big-time" J-schools are not better spellers than anybody else.
ReplyDeleteAll this Tom BLAH BLAH BLAH!
ReplyDeleteGET OFF THIS SITE!GO SING KUMBAYA in a circle jerk!You are BORING. Your ideas are BORING.Your newspaper would be BORING. NEPA would wipe ass with it.

To get this blog up to 1,000 let's start a "Favorite Dick Moments in Gene's History" entry.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine:
My favorite Dick Gene moment was when he wrote a rotten and scathingly mean and nasty column about his former editor -- the day her mother died of cancer.
Top that.
You've GOT to be kidding?
ReplyDeleteGene Moment:
ReplyDeleteHe used to call sales rep Patty Fanucci "the drunken slut" behind her back but then had her do his evil bidding by constantly complimenting her to her face. True evil...
Wow, I thought I had a Gene Dick moment, but I have shit after that.
ReplyDeleteHe was also busy banging another sales rep. A MARRIED sales rep. A married sales rep with a huge ass. She has great tits though.
ReplyDeleteGene used to suck up to Laurie Cadden, too, and then slam her behind her back.
ReplyDeleteI lkie Laurie, so I won't repeat the "Gene- isms"
He's an evil midget.
(like) I had a backward moment
ReplyDeleteHe HATED Alicia
ReplyDeleteDoes he only love men?
ReplyDeleteMarko Marincko and Gene Padden were separated at birth.
ReplyDeleteBoth 2 faced self promoting douche bags
ReplyDeleteGene was no friend of Wendy's when she was at EC.
ReplyDeleteShe actually thought Gene was her friend! LMAO!

comment I realize Gene is the DEVIL!
BUZZ KILL
ReplyDeleteHe hated Alicia because she has talent.
ReplyDeleteHe's gotta be so proud leaving here knowing what kind of impact he's had. I bet they'll love him in the Navy though.
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE, including the janitor was and IS more talented then Gene.
ReplyDeleteHe hates anyone better than him. Anyone who is naturally talented, or more liked (without manipulation)than him is targeted.
He's an ASS!
Wow. Seems like one person is obsessed with Gene. Starting to feel sorry for the guy now. Some sort of crazy starts posting here every other minute, sort of ruins the fun for the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteGive it a break pal. We get it. You have some sort of obsession with Gene. Resolve this love-hate thing some place else, K-O?
GERBIL IMPACTED!!!!
ReplyDeleteyes gene....
ReplyDeleteWe are one person!
