Print is dead. While Gannett and others waste money and resources trying to squeeze out a couple extra pennies from washed-up advertisers, Advance is actually taking steps to keep the business alive.

Heard former APSE president Todd Adams and others were recently let go by Gannett.

Wow. What a moron.

Oh boy. More layoffs coming later this month.

It's 2023, bud. Newspapers aren't the core product.

Former colleague of mine said that the new head of the Gannett news division did a site visit to Nashville a couple weeks ago and warned editors that 2023 outlook is bleak.

Because that's not a real person

Heard from a former colleague that the big papers are mostly safe, it's the small ones that will have cuts.

I can't imagine that taking a lunch break and tweeting about it will accomplish anything.

NYT started building digital more than a decade ago. Gannett is still a print business. That’s the biggest reason for divergent tracks.

I don't see any argument for keeping print editions. Get rid of them and you get rid of costs of newsprint, delivery, etc. Would be good for the business.

No wonder print is dead

Why waste time creating an agate page when people can just go to ESPN.com or any number of websites and get that same info in a much more user-friendly form?

Gannett finally stops clinging to the past and does something with an eye on the future. https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2022/01/12/columbus-dispatch-dropping-saturday.html

Catching up on posts I've missed in the last couple months. A bunch of old white dudes disparaging a young black woman they don't know is the least surprising thing I've come across so far.
