AW: my job-related worst nightmare
yall have heard me lament the drama in my industry. but this is just too damn depressing for words.
a photographer and reporter at the Newark Star-Ledger were reassigned --- to the MAIL ROOM! this, AFTER the paper slashed its staff in half. half!

my company is going thru yet another round of layoffs. my job is
safe and i've been guaranteed it will be for a while. still, the
neverending industry bad news is enough to beg for a journalism
bailout!
Re: AW: my job-related worst nightmare
Eeeek, that's really scary! I hope you continue to escape the layoffs.
One of our former customer service reps quit to work as a reporter for a community paper , and she just came back in the other day to reapply for her old job -- big layoffs.
I'm going to sit right here with you and fret. Oh and maybe,
We're supposed to have some "town hall meetings" in a few weeks at our place and let me tell you--I read that and started panicking. Those are never, never good.
thanks for the kind words brookles.
gtown, newspapers are still trying to figure out the internets, believe it or not. the big papers have separate staff who do online content. but at most papers in this country, reporters do it all -- online updates, daily coverage for the actual paper, they even shoot video and take pictures for the web. with more people doing it all, short sighted bosses think they can get rid of as many folks as they can.
but it's beyond that. papers simply don't cover what they used to -- on the web, or in the dead tree edition. bureaus have closed, sections completely abandoned, communities and institutions ignored. it's ridiculous. but i need to jump off my soap box now before i lose it... lol.
This is like a doomsday scenario. I'm picturing this in my head with tumbleweeds rolling past desks. Is this the death of the news as we know it? Are we going to succumb to blogs and untrustworthy sources? Egads. Fwiw, I have a friend at the Post and her employees suck but she can't fire any because if she did she wouldn't be allowed to replace them.
