Gannett layoffs

[lantaur]

I posted this on the Gannett blog and I will here: Just sell the papers. You're to the point where someone could build up these papers back into something. Right now these papers have skeleton staffs. You can't cut much more. Ah, but I'm afraid they will.

They will keep cutting. What's scary is that Gannett isn't even trying to hide that another round is coming before Christmas.

You are so correct Mizzou. And the cuts may come before Thanksgiving Day.

In honor of Craig Stanke, I've fixed that above sentence for you.

An old college friend who is a night news editor at a Gannett shop posted on Facebook that tonite she'll be putting out the news sections AND taking football phoners and writing summaries. Unreal.

Hope they take their time in doing so. A few blown deadlines will shake things up beautifully.

Sadly, you are correct. There are only a few things left that actually get the attention of these people and that is one of them.
