Gannett joins the club?

So Kid, which managers don't have a reporter to boss around? If they're turning in copy, they can call themselves whatever they want. If not, they should think about picking up a pen or a phone once in a while. Strange thing about the "dynamic" times we're working through, the newsroom "fiefdoms" never change.

 

i pretty much said that at my last job interview. yeah, it's a buyer's market for talent, but given how the industry's house of cards is collapsing on itself, how can i give a legit, reasoned answer when i'm asked that question?

 

i got the gig. i think the big man appreciated the honesty.

 

Try one of the real music channels.

 

In a market like Louisville and central Kentucky, where high school sports are the largest part of the sports coverage, that would be absolute business suicide.

 

So did they hire him?

 

I wouldn't have either.

 

Gannett layoffs will be complete by August 27. Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

 

... And that kid was Tom Junod.

 

I'd have hired him.

Anyone with that much confidence, moxie and determination would be good to have for 12 months and then send on his way than to ignore it.

 

From what I hear, two job cuts in Oshkosh, FWIW

 

Lafayette Advertiser announced six job cuts today. Laid off employees will be informed by the end of next week. Their staff is already pretty thin, can't imagine even more losses.
