    With a reduced emphasis on micro-zoning, the paper has had less need for local-pages designers. Tough times, though, for a paper that was doing quite well a decade or so ago.

    Don't know any people on that list (and I know more than a handful of people there), but still doesn't take away the sting.

    I'm stunned to see Mark Benoit's name on the latest layoff list, but I don't know why I should be. After all, he's only been there 40 YEARS and you can't expect the company to keep him around forever, even if he stil is productive. Anyone need further proof that concepts like loyalty and respect and human decency have no place in what quickly is becoming the world's tawdriest business?

    This might not play well.

    There were layoffs and yet ... PaulO is reporting (from Hong Kong, no less) the P-E just hired San Bernardino's prep writer, John Murphy.

    Great move for John. Seriously, how much longer does the Sun even stick around? Circulation is sub-50,000 in a 3 million-plus market. Embarrassing. Disgraceful.

    It is a great move for John and yet another reason why the Sun sports section is an oxymoron.

    Under 50k, Mile? Disgraceful and embarrassing barely scratches the surface.

    I mistyped. Should have put under 60K. Which is still embarrassing and disgraceful.

    And last update was 57K on Sunday and 54K M-F (52K on Saturday).

    Has Patricia Mays surfaced anywhere yet? My money still is on ESPN.

    Not yet. But I've heard she has a lead or two.
