Palm Beach Post

I've heard that in sports, even in the good times, most staff stories got two usually thorough reads before going in the paper. Some that came in during the day got 3-5 different people looking at it. Now, it sounds like it's the same as a lot of shops. Quick look by an overworked rim guy and a glance by a copy chief who has just enough time to fix a headline and/or the lead and make sure it doesn't say "fuck" or "shit" anywhere and fire it through. Welcome to the new world order...or something.

 

A survivor attempts to defend the indefensible.

Love this lie:

``Our hope, though, is that the cuts will get us through these bad times, and then we can reassess and start building back up.''

Building back up! Hahahahahahahahaha!

 

Sorry, Matt. Should have been a little more clear.
All that editing and proofing is done on newsside.
Still learning the sports operation (though it's nice to go back to my roots).

 

A few days late, but I need to chime in on this one. Both Sears and Severance are quality people, as evidenced by, if nothing else, the fact that neither of them murdered a young deskslave during his internship there some years ago. Actually, I take that back. The word "murder" implies that it's done for no reason. Presented with all the facts, no jury in the world would have convicted either of them.

All these situations suck, but every now and then one comes home to roost. Best of luck to both, as well as Bonikowski.

 

A few days?

 

Damn, I read August and thought it said October.

LOL!
