Layoffs ahead for Kansas CIty Star?
The Bottom Line Communications blog says more layoffs are coming for the Kansas City Star, including 10 from the editorial side:
What is particularly frustrating for employees is many were lead to believe the financial outlook at the paper was improving and felt their jobs were safe.
It's a shame, but that's what happens when you produce an exceptionaly POOR quality product. Oh yeah, I know it's all the internet's fault. I can recall when we had The Times and The Star and it was a big deal when they discontinued the Saturday Star. The "newspapers" have failed to keep the editorializing on the editorial page and are suffering for it.
