Tribune suspends use of Journatic

Sidney, Clayton and Mohammed could not be reached for comment.

 

Or, as they're known in their bylines, Robert and Jonathan.

 

Apparently there was a note to readers in Monday's Tribune. Sounds like, for now, no one's getting hired back, but stay tuned... things could change. Now if they could only rid the Trib of the editors who were responsible for running the paper under Zell...

GateHouse also just announced it will no longer use Journatic as well.

 

Are they going to evict Journatic from their building, or divest their stake in them?

 

San Francisco Chronicle will stay the course.

Half of me wants to laugh; the other half wants to ... I'll go with cry, because what the other half of me would really like to do would get me arrested.

 

Yeah, that was a rare "We were wrong" moment from the GH execs.

 

Tribune seems to be using Journatic again.

Yeah, they're using Journatic again. Heaven help they actually bring back some of the reporters that helped put TribLocal together every week.

 

Bumped up thread to show this link. Apparently Journatic's laying off some staff and all independent contractors.

Okay, guys. Now what?

 

The one guy I know who is a contractor for Journatic is still with them.
