Chicago Reader: Hot Type Charles Madigan, the man charged with turning the Trib into a 24/7 Internet news machine, says he got the skills for the job back at UPI. He called Madigan a "seasoned veteran," one of the Tribune's "premier writers," someone whose new job will "capitalize on his staggering skills as a fast and graceful writer." The point is, Madigan's 56, yet O'Shea was asking him to be the paper's new futurist. Madigan's career is a tribute to his ingenuity. www.chicagoreader.com /hottype/2005/050909_1.html   (887 words)

MADIGAN: MANAGER OF IROQUOIS COUNTY GRAIN ELEVATOR CHARGED WITH FALSIFYING RECORDS RELATED TO TRADING ON FUTURES MARKET   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Madigan today charged Cameron Charles, manager of the former Watseka Farmers Grain Company Cooperative, with two counts of Violation of the Record Keeping Provision and one count of Destruction of Records, all Class 2 felonies punishable by three to seven years in the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). Madigan said Charles allegedly presented IDOA with falsified documents to conceal that the elevator was outside its speculative limits, which would prevent it from passing an audit. Charles also allegedly destroyed various records demanded by IDOA and associated with the operation of the elevator during the relevant time period. www.agr.state.il.us /newsrels/r0630051.html   (530 words)

Rhetorica: Press-Politics Journal: Still more on Colbert... Charles Madigan has a weekly column in the Tribune and intended to say his piece on May 16. I would argue that a media situation gets old once there's nothing interesting left to say about it (which means almost nothing gets old for an academic--but that's not necessarily a comment on the quality and contents of "interesting"). If the blogosphere ages the news quickly, then, perhaps, Madigan should be writing a blog. rhetorica.net /archives/005591.html   (428 words)

788177x   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Madigan and O'Shea cracked the facade of the consulting elite by talking to sources within the firms themselves; gaining access to clients; finding court cases which reveal inside industry practices (the Guinness affair, for example). This is a book about the exercise of power and will be important reading for anyone who wants to understand how the world of business works.

Amazon.com: Dangerous Company: The Consulting Powerhouses and the Businesses They Save and Ruin: Books: James ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) The book's underlying message (and this is obviously being missed by those who all too readily criticise the text) is that highly paid senior executives who readily abrogate their managerial responsibilities by blindly placing faith in the advice of external experts, are the "real dangers" to their companies. O'Shea and Madigan make this clear in the final pages of their book, where they provide a checklist of 10 rules to follow when engaging management consultants. The concluding lines of "Dangerous Company" are perhaps the most revealing of all: "Good advice depends upon the shrewdness of the (person) who seeks it." In the final analysis, the authors are not suggesting that managers shouldn't use consultants, they're merely suggesting that managers seek advice wisely rather than blindly. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0140276858?v=glance   (2952 words)

08/25/97 A SCORNFUL LOOK AT THE CONSULTING BIZ Yet James O'Shea and Charles Madigan, two veteran journalists from the Chicago Tribune, bring exactly that derisive point of view to a book that otherwise could have been the most important work on consulting in decades. Dangerous Company, their examination of one of the world's booming businesses, is an ill-informed, anticonsultant screed filled with grievances that have been leveled at consultants for decades. More often than not, O'Shea and Madigan seem to be scratching their way inside the business from the outside. www.businessweek.com /1997/34/b3541130.htm   (856 words)

Voice of the People - Chicago Tribune - Blogs. The word "impeach" was used incorrectly (as it often is) in an article by Charles Madigan ("A cautionary note about impeachment," March 21, Commentary). I read Charles Madigan's column from March 21st, "A cautionary note about impeachment", and was surprised to see that he entirely missed the point of the impeachment debate (and the censure debate for that matter). I certainly hope no one is arguing for impeachment based on "stupidity" or "because people don't like the job he's doing", as Charles Madigan suggests. newsblogs.chicagotribune.com /news_opinion_letters/2006/03/22   (1952 words)

News media's credibility crumbling More precisely, the poll notes that only one in four people believe what they read in the newspapers. Chicago Tribune Editor Charles M. Madigan may have put it best when he offered this advice: "If you are a journalist, you should probably just assume that you come across as a liar." A 2004 study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism, part of Columbia University's storied Graduate School of Journalism, underscores Madigan's observation. foi.missouri.edu /mediacredibility/nmcredcrumbling.html   (1544 words)
