I'm not sure what the rules are, but I'm pretty certain they have to provide insurance up to 6 weeks after termination, following which you can extend it under COBRA.

I think insurance after termination depends on the state.
And yes, COBRA is expensive as hell, but you have two months to decide if you want/need it and then 45 days from then to make the first payment. So if you have a catastrophic incident, you can elect coverage. If you don't, then you keep knocking on wood.

Steve admits he made a few mistakes. But based on his story -- I have no way of knowing if anything's left out -- this is an EXTREME overreaction on the part of the Sentinel. This unfortunately seems to be the way of the world these days. We're in a zero tolerance era -- but in a business where rarely are such things black and white.
Unfortunately, businesses are seeing gray -- and saying it's black.
Good luck, Steve. What has happened here seems really, really wrong -- again, based on your side of the story.

This is another example of the selective ethics enforcement from Tribune, which has distinguished itself with its gross inconsistencies in deciding what to enforce and what not to enforce.
This is the same company that had several of its reporters at its LA TV station (KTLA) accept trips, furniture, hotel stays and other perks without any repercussions, save a slap on the wrist when its media sister -- the LA Times -- wrote about it. Had there been no stories, the gravy train would have kept rolling on.
It's also the same company that has another golf writer write stories for another program. And this person still has their job.
Aside from Steve's examples, there are other stories of the inconsistencies inherent in Tribune's chimp-dart actions, including one I'm personally familiar with that was an equal gross overreaction. But this was way, waaaaay out of line and another example of the colossal cluelessness permeating the upper reaches of most newspapers.

I don't know Steve, but I find it disgusting that he would be fired over this minor drama and what's-her-name gets a boost (no, not a boots) to ESPN after making the paper look stupid and defending her right to do so.

Good luck, Steve.
It's curious why a luxury lifestyle magazine is taking shots at the hometown paper in an editorial.

Maybe Lynn can clear up things ... ?

That magazine is a worthless piece of ****, IMO. Anyone who supports Steve should fill their in-boxes.
I really want to read the editorial that led to Elling's dismissal. Can someone post it?

That was the part 2 of the series. It didn't run because she had to take the blog down.

Not too recent. We're talking at least a year ago by now.

This probably needs a little clarification. Steve's post makes it seem as though they "had a former columnist" do this, as if it was an assignment. That would be silly, but it did throw me for a spin when I first read the words.
Steve's last column seems to be about Ginn. i checked that last night. I'm not sure of the significance of that. Maybe it was felt that a column was going too far, further than what might be ethically obtuse as straight reporting.

That's a pretty nasty shot. There's nothing wrong with writing a story that TV or a magazine or radio had first (better if you're first, but still). As long as they did their own reporting, what's the beef?
And the Emily Badger stuff was something they wrote about a couple years ago.
So all they had fresh was the veiled allegation. Pretty slimy on Orlando Magazine's part.
