Politically, what's the Orlando Sentinel like?
Moderately left?
Pretty far left?
Extremely far left?
Off the charts far left?
Just owned by the NY Times.
"a limited number of positions"
Well, at least it's not an unlimited number.
moderately left.
No. The Chicago Tribune, I think.
I wonder why she announced this in NY.
I live a few hours south of Orlando and have to therefore drive through the cow town when going north. I have upon occasion purchased and read this rag.
Doesn't matter that it is a left leaning rag, what is gauling is that it is a lousy paper. Not worth its very over priced cost.
Off the charts left. Also very poorly written and edited - a very amateurish rag. It cannot die soon enough.
Every time a liberal newspaper dies, a forest gets to live....
I've lived in the Orlando area for years- I've rarely seen a worse example of a small city newspaper- regardless of it's editorial policy (which, naturally, slants moderately LEFT). They also run a lousy "all-news" local TV station.
Somewhere between moderately and pretty far left. One would hope they could escape this by going to the Sports Page, but Bianchi is a tool of the liberals. About the only saving grace is to read Kathleen Parker on Sundays and Wednesdays.
This is actually worse than it appears for the Orlando Sentinel. The Orlando area is one of the fastest growing in the country. You would think that the paper would be growing not shrinking. Imagine how bad it would be if the population was unchanged?
It doesn't look like the circulation is actually shrinking. It looks more like they are going from inflated numbers used to rip off advertisers to more realistic numbers. "...although some of that can be attributed to a voluntary reduction in "other paid" circulation. "

The lefty papers should just raise prices again. They tell us raising taxes is always the answer. Seems the economics should be quite close.
I don't believe that's the reason why. Even if they had inflated the numbers it's the revenue drop that's hurting (or fewer sales). However,this could be a "preemptive" layoff since the future revenues will fall since the advertisers will now pay less for their ads.
The Orlando Slantinel is very left but very clever... An Ex-VP once told me he thought that the paper was conservative.
The Name Is Walsh.
