REGISTER-GUARD TOP DOG PERO GONE

We heard unconfirmed rumors that The Register-Guard’s highly paid chief operating officer David Pero got himself fired Friday after more than five years. Maybe leaving was his idea, but that’s not what we heard. Nothing in the paper or online, unless we missed it. We checked his LinkedIn profile and sure enough, it lists the R-G as his employer from February 2007 to June 2012. Pero was overseeing editorial, advertising, circulation, marketing, production and technology, including the website.
