I'd guess not much, probably far less than an number of people on here and he's probably far more well respected nationally in his field than they are.
That said it is pretty sad the attitude Dave displays towards new media, unfortunately it is not an altogether uncommon attitude and it is held by people in news rooms and radio stations the world over. They think the internet is cheap, useless, poorly vetted, and full of baseless rumor. I've personally tried to to talk to the Ad about this exact issue and I've offered both my time and experience as have several others in my field who are very well respected to help them craft a proper digital presence, to tech them how to stay on point, to handle the rumors, to engage people, to get their story out first, to be consistent and successful rather than sticking their heads in the sand. It is just an unfortunately old guard mentality that won't go unless he does.
