    ok, i'm supposed to interview with a scripps paper tomorrow for what i would call a newsroom mid-management job. seems like a decent opportunity but the layoffs mentioned here have me more than a little concerned. hmmm, what to do, what to do.

    Was the paper included in the latest round of layoffs?

    I think the Scripps madness started last week. Wonder if everyone's been hit yet or there are still papers out there for the end of the week's round...
