Plain Dealer Announces Layoffs

Hey Everyone!
It has been a rough week for newspapers across the country. In addition to the last couple posts, the Cleveland Plain Dealer also announced layoffs earlier this week. Editor Susan Goldberg cited lack of participation in the sale of the 166-year-old publication, which is currently owned by Advance Publications (Sun Newspapers, Conde Nast). Twenty-seven employees were notified Tuesday through a telephone call from Goldberg that they did not need to come into work.

On a side note, I hope everyone is having an awesome break! Let me know if you have any suggestions! I look forward to working with you!

Sincerely,
Stefanie Toth
Treasurer
