ASE, Salt Lake Tribune

Surprisingly, no. My source told me the leading candidate had no connection.

 

Is it the guy from the South as you posted earlier on this page or is it an in-house candidate?

 

Good catch. I was told there are two 'leading' candidates. The dude from the south being 1a and an in-house guy being 1b depending on 1a's interview and/or interest in moving to Salt Lake City with his family.

 

Could this be a guy from the Atlanta Journal? If it is, he is a former Woodland Hills sweatshop worker.

 

It appears Jon Clifford made a good move as Lean Dean strikes again:

20 layoffs, including the publisher, at the L.A. Daily News. Still no sports editor there, and probably one not coming anytime soon.

My source says three people from sports were among the cuts.

 

Three sports guys were cut from LADN. One copy editor, one sportswriter and one ASE. Maybe Clifford and Anastasi can give the ASE a call and give him a job in Utah

 

Where is Clifford now?

Sources say no one really unhappy with who was let go, that while it's tougher now, they weren't doing their jobs/weren't very good/didn't get along with others.

 

Are you guys kidding? Clifford escaped Singleton?
No, he didn't. Singleton owns the Salt Lake Trib, too. How long before layoffs are announced there? Tick. Tick. Tick...
