    I believe they have somewhere around 200 total in editorial, so you do the math.

    The great news just keeps rolling in.

    I know quite a few people there.

    This is particularly sad for me.

    Awful. I have some friends there, including one of my best friends in this business (and one of THE best in the business).

    At least they asshole-proofed the story by not allowing reader comments.

    Doesn't bode well for the guys they have covering Browns/Bengals/Reds/Indians/Cavs, though I'm not sure exactly what they're doing in those departments these days.

    Tractor, nice sig ...

    Also, if I read:

    "These are challenging times for many industries, including the newspaper industry,"

    ... one more time, I'm going to puke. Also, the "it's getting dusty in here" thing. Sorry, pet peeves.
