   Needless to say, it’s not gonna be a very productive day in our newsroom. Even if I am spared, I’m worried about some of my coworker friends. Ugh.

   So far, so good. Our publisher said that up to 100 job losses were a possibility, so I imagine it will take a while to get through them all All I can say is, please support your local newspaper.

   My editor said she was told they’re not touching reporters, so I have reason to be hopeful. Still, a lot of really good and talented people lost their jobs today. I feel so awful for them.

    What a crappy day. Emotional roller coasters, watching other people suffer and lots of uncertainty cannot be easy. Best of luck today in treating yourself with kindness.

    Dang it, I hate days like that… It sounds like you might be spared, though. And good luck and good karma your way!!

    Watching other people suffer blows.

    And just all-around, GOOD LUCK!

    [...] be talking to 40 high school students about careers (or lack thereof) in journalism (I survived the layoffs, but many other talented professionals did not).  The timing was ironic, but entirely coincidental [...]
