R.I.P.
Filed under: Media MinuteThe Chicago Tribune announced Tuesday that they are going to be cutting 80 of 578 newsroom jobs.
The fired journalists can join all the other recently laid off newspaper casualties in the unemployment line, if they can afford the gas to drive there!

This is just sad!

Between 80 and 578??? That's quite a differentiation…
bush, cheney, rove, rumsfeld etc. ruined us all. they should be tried for their greedy deceptions.
i beat you. ha ha
good thing with all these layoffs perez still has a job
So sad when all we read is crap (CNN) online and then watch the same biased crap on TV. Our kids can't even think for themselves anymore. A whole generation of teachers telling our kids in school how and what to think. Beam me back to the 50's where I learned how to read, write and do math.
Thats because we all get our news from Perez!
Paper is a dead media. It's going the way of BETA TAPES, CASSETTES, VHS, ….move on people, we don't still use scrolls, stones, quill pens, or horsemen either and somehow we still manage to PROGRESS!! Don't be a FUCKING LAME ASS SHEEP and blame the economy or a FUCKING STUPID DOUCHE and blame Bush. Grow up, pay attention.
word
it says 80 OF 578
Thats so sad, Rush just got 50million a year raise until 2016! Go Liberals!!!
I love reading newspapers!!!!

My mother was laid off last week from the Tampa Tribune. It is bad all over!
I got out of the newspaper biz in the nick of time! To my fellow ex-print journalists: I'm thinking of starting a support group for jaded scribes who became newspaper men and women for noble reasons only to be kicked in the balls over and over again by the business. Let me know if you're interested.
Re: mb – Rush was just saying today, he was thinking of buying that paper:) Hope your mom can get her job back.
These people are going to be OUT OF A JOB and actors just want MORE MORE MORE…
Q. What would you get if you put a bunch of actors in a bag?
A. A bag full of losers!
It's sad to me that I'm now almost grateful to have my lame $8.04/hour retail job because so many people in the country are starting to lose their jobs. I feel like our country is on a path to self-destruction.
No one in Chicago drives.
Perez! Be careful with that R.I.P. It makes people think that someone diedbut lately you have been using it for stupid shit.
WTF is going with your Country??? You people aren't going down…ARE YOU????
I mean you used to be sooooo powerful!!!!
WHAT UP??? HeHe.
Seems like EVERYDAY someone or some company are going dooooown. Huh????
The people who were laid off who are talented will find new and better, more stable jobs, hopefully in an industry that is not dying (ie print media).
The people who were laid off who are NOT talented will become celebrity gossip mongers.
The economy will take care of both categories of people, as it always does. Simple 12th grade economics, people.
Re: Cindy – We go through this every four years, its called an election. The economy is crumbling, the sky is falling etc. We dig at each other but foreigners should understand, we can come together in a heartbeat! I just have an awful feeling, about this election, were are going to be tested hard, but have no doubts, we are all Americans!
Who buys newspapers? I got all my information thru the internet.- It's updated every 5 minutes.- Newspapers are a thing of the past.-
Re: Rhond – Lets hope so Rhond. I hate to say it but….we aren't living in the same world now as we were 4 yrs. ago. It's tough ALL over the world. We can only wait and see!
Re: Cindy – Thanks, Cindy, that is kind of you to say. Take care
i am a journalist. poor choice of career i guess. no wonder i cant find a job.
The newspapers are failing because they were bought out by publicly traded corporations who expect growth every quarter. Newspapers are extremely profitable, as they make the majority of their money of of ads, and classifieds, but they don't "GROW" they make the same profit margin every year. So the only way to make them look like they are "growing" is to cut the labor force, which makes the balance sheet look better. This has been widely reported, there is more the the story than simply newspapers are dying. Most newspapers used to be owned by families, extremely wealthy families but not so anymore.
See it boils down to this, smart people follow the news. This is why papers like these are loosing readers. There base are liberals and democrats and they are failing to follow the news. Liberals and Dumocrats would rather just believe what they want without any research. This is why Rush controls the radio and Fox controls the TV news. Smart people follow news and most smart people are conservative ! Bottom line.
PEREZ, your still a DOUCHEBAG. Teddy does not like it when you put your finger in his ass !
Thank God Newsday was bought by the Dolans. SAM ZELL CAN GO FUCK HIMSELF
Are these people EVER going to get it? Are WE ever going to admit it? Todays version of a newspaper is little more than PROPAGANDA for some liberal or wacko organization or cause. Thinking people are sick of it. They know there is no real news offered. Just stories telling us how we need to give everything we have built to invaders from around the world who want it. You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. Good Riddance to these useless, lying rags.
it is because people don't read newspapers anymore, they read the internet. You are all morons, it has nothing to do with gas or the administration.
Re: shazz –
I agee. This has been a long time coming…I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.
I( work at a major metro daily and it is really depressing. I hope that all those who lost their jobs can find new employment. I am studying web design, a career with a good future.
Maybe I can work for Perez!
