One of my coworkers put me in touch on Monday with an editor at the Pensacola News Journal (owned by Gannett) as a source for the user comments article. My coworker gave me the guy's name and number and said, "You'd better call him before lunch, because there are layoffs there today."
I talked to the guy, and he was really nice and helpful. I found out later that he wasn't one of the ones who got laid off. But I still feel bad for all the rest who did.
The Gannett layoffs are sad. Why do companies lay people off right before the holidays? These are talented journalists with families. What do they do now? Where do they go?
It's also sad that this isn't an issue exclusive to Gannett. The Chicago Tribune is reducing its staff, as is the Washington Examiner, among others.
