Layoffs at AL.com?

Okay, I see. That's a terrible situation. I'm sure the coaches - and parents - are pissed. You got put in an impossible situation.

Yeah, it didn't last too long, but one coach told a co-worker he didn't want to take the summary because he just wanted to get back to watching TV.

In sports or news? Natalie Pierre and Gary Estwick in sports are both black.

You mean Natalie Williams, who got married after a very, very quick courtship and has changed her Twitter handle, her byline and all references on her website except the domain name (nataliepierre.com).
It's almost as if she's trying to get Google and others to forget that she's a convicted plagiarist.

Wow.

That's horse****. This model is the very worst of all the models. It produces horrendous clickbait, caterwauling in the comments section, mindless blogging...it's the worst option of the bunch.

What does throwing talent (and payroll) of a sinking ship to keep it afloat a few quarters longer have to do with "clickbait" and all that other nonsense you posted?

 

[Fredrick]

Extinction is coming regardless. What these places are doing is just strategically delaying it for as long as possible. Little different than tossing ballast off a sinking ship.

It doesn't help by getting rid of one's best most popular veteran reporters/editors.

Stupid headline on the MMA story. The best part of the story was saying the Ronda Rousey 2.0 fighter won by a "near naked choke." Maybe that's mud wrestling, but it's not MMA. Should have been rear naked choke.

Anybody hearing rumblings of design jobs going away in Birmingham and being outsourced to NOLA.com?

 

[SixToe]

Design to be done out of New Orleans now.

Leaders named at Alabama Media Group newspapers as print production, design consolidate

Reorganization of some management positions along with the design move. Story also says Birmingham, Mobile and Huntsville are the state's three biggest newspapers. Is Huntsville's circulation larger than Tuscaloosa, Montgomery or even Decatur?
