Newpaper layoffs

Gannett is announcing layoffs and mandated unpaid furloughs in a cost cutting move.

Question for Gannett.

How many people does it really take to do a daily Cincinnati Enquirer now?

I figure it should take about three.

One to download the AP wire stories, another to run the photocopier of those stories and a third to deliver it to the four households that have subscriptions.

Seriously, is it me or has the paper shrunk significantly since they boosted the price to 75 cents?

You can get more information out of the local Auto Trader; which is free by the way.

These guys made their own demise.

Here's a taste of the news Enquirer style. On the web site the article is titled "Bundle up, it's cold outside".... As if you would never had noticed it without the hard hitting expose by your local rag.
