The Post and every other newspaper going through the buy-outs and layoffs are put out by an entire company of workers. It’s not just a newsroom of writers and editors, though those people are more visible to the communities, both in print and online.
But those who support the newsroom are taking a hit, too.
Who else is affected? Librarians, photographers, artists, copyeditors, clerks, production staff, advertising, community relations, circulation, customer service, tech support, classified, accounting…the list goes on. Adjunct publications, including Pennysaver and La Palma are losing long-time staffers.
If you’re one of the departments outside the newsrooms, or not mentioned in Bob Norman’s Daily Pulp blog posting, add your department’s toll here.
