More bad news for the newsroom
By inmedia
Further to Francis’s post about the demise of the Halifax Daily News, a post on Gawker yesterday shows that it’s not just smaller, local newspapers that are struggling. The New York Times announced that it will be cutting 100 newsroom positions this year. Which begs the question, where will the wealth of writing and editing talent end up? Surely some will move online, perhaps others will switch sides and become PR practitioners… Good writers and hard workers will prevail, it’s just a matter of what platform will act as their new venue.
