PMH EVP’s Sleek Sports Car

Times are tough in the journalism industry. Everyone has to make sacrifices. Whatever. Tell that to Philadelphia Media Holdings executive vice president Mark Frisby, who has a shiny new Maserati, according to a tipster who passed along this photo. Shouldn’t it be shinier if it’s brand new? Tsk, tsk.

I wouldn’t tell the former publisher of The Courier Post (a Gannett paper, naturally) to avoid buying new toys in this time of fiscal crisis; after all, I just got Wii Fit a few weeks ago. But considering a lot of the rank-and-file at PMH considers him a henchman brought to fire people, I might suggest passing on the vanity plate next time.
