Heart goes out to those who got "pulled aside" tonight. They can name themselves if they wish. I won't. Three of the six cuts on the first floor in West Palm Beach came from the sports department. The other three layoffs/early retirements are on news side. The sports department did not expect...

Playing it on cover? I know I am late to the party here, but Tony Stewart went 0-for-4 reaching the cover of the four dailies I edit.

Too funny. It's been since 2007 since I last logged onto this site, and I remember your name posting jobs (don't remember where) and 'bumping' postings. Thanks for the memory. TMartin PBPost news/sports/business/local/opinion page designer/copy editor and web producer. (Damn ... gets longer all...

Hey all, Just checked. Been since 2007 since I last logged in. Been fortunate since then in my SoFla shop. Not much chatter about Lansing State Journal. I heard the sports editor lost his job, and that hits me hard. He was there at the start of my career 25 years ago. So I'm asking ...

I can't believe Bob posted those names.

And the hits keep coming. As a Herald alum and current subscription customer, I'm thinking about ya, gang.

I'm thinking about all my friends at the Miami Herald. Terrible news. And tomorrow ... it might be the Post-Intel's final printed version.

Are longer hours, fewer days off and the newspaper industry in general taking more of a toll? Just heard that the Herald's Sunday sports editor is leaving after less than a year on the job. Sources say he's not leaving for another job, but has just 'had enough.' Sources add that the Herald...

I sense a trend beginning. On the heels of Booth Newspapers consolidating the editing and design of the chain's eight Michigan newspapers to a central source out of the Grand Rapids Press, Miami Herald employees found out yesterday that McClatchy is planning on a similar route. McClatchy's...

Re: Chicago Tribune: We F'd up I hope the South Florida Sun-Sentinel takes note of this letter (hint, hint).

I can't believe I read this thread. I blame you, Slappy.
