    Don't know Maggie at all, but heard a lot of great things about her from a handful of folks over the weekend.

    Are we entering a new quarter? Will we see big-time cuts at all major news outlet chains?

    Three newsroom layoffs, one retirement last week in the Bay Area News Group, per Reliable Sources newsletter. Retirement was long-time East Bay sports writer Gary Peterson.

    The Trentonian has a no-layoffs clause good for one year in its March 2020 contract. It's sports dept will feed all Philly cluster papers as those papers get whacked.

    It undermines us when the fired editorial writer for The Trentonian continues to write a weekly column for no pay for five years

    I was at a DFM where some people who were laid off immediately began freelancing. I understood their need to make some money, but felt it diminished the value of what we did as staffers if they were willing to do basically the same job for less money and no benefits.
