Gannett has not had journalists in years. They’ve had lots of leftist advocates playing journalist.
Propaganda doesn’t pay like it use to.
What’s a socialist with a undergrad in English, another undergrad in ethnic studies, and a masters in medieval woman’s literature and $500K in student loans going to do?
Youve got that right. Here in Cincinnati, the Equierer actually supported Hillary, the first time in its history that they didn't support a Republican candidate. Now it anti-Trump every day. I stopped subscription 10 years ago.
My local newspaper is a liberal rag.
I hear 7/11 is hiring.
I know the pain of working almost 20 years for a company and then get laid off without so much as a ‘thank you’. It does hurt.
However, I don’t understand how much denial these people are in. Can a town seriously survive without a newspaper cartoonist? Or a womens sports reporter?
The industry is dying because it failed to adapt. I haven’t picked up a newspaper to read in a long, long time. I, frankly, was glad to no longer be hostage to one-sided liberal reporting when I quit my subscription back in the 1990s.
My career has been a bumpy one since my 2010 layoff but the good news is retirement is not far away, likely another 18 months or so. I just have to find one more job and hang onto it until then.
Not true. Me too.
The audience for these papers are the people who do not have cable but watch tv over public airwaves. In otherwords, poor dependent citizens who they try to influence their vote every single day.
I didn’t even try. Today’s “Journalists” are Satan’s minions.
Syracuse University has the Newhouse School of Journalism, founded by Newhouse who owned the Gannett chain. They graduate hundreds of kids every year into an industry that is collapsing into itself. What a scam.
Gannett has JOURNALISTS to lay off?
You would think journalists on the take being used to do the government’s illegal dirty work would be story priority #1 among journalists? But apparently not?
Makes one wonder why anyone would want to “invest” in the newspaper business?
- -
If the purchase includes the buildings and land that might be valuable enough. But yeah, newspapers are not a 21st century investment.
I hope these people like working at Burger King or as baristas because there isn’t a whole lot else they are qualified for.
I know a guy like this. Went to high school with him. Over thirty years with a large daily paper that ceased publication. No idea what he’s doing now but I’m sure his situation isn’t pretty.
You know, I used to like reading David Ignatius. He seemed to be really in the know and reported on serious issues involving national relationships. Now I believe he's a mouthpiece for the CIA.
Michael Issakoff is clearly a mouthpiece for the FBI, with his Yahoo report that the FBI cited to initiate the FISA warrant.
Newspapers are a great investment if your other businesses depend on you molding public opinion.
The old saw about picking a fight with someone who buys ink by the tanker-load is gone.
The new material is electrons and EVERYBODY has them...even blog-pimps [spit!].
Good luck to you, FRiend.
Bingo
Good question.
I bet no journalists will be laid off...........................................
