This past week Kansas City Star publisher Mark Zieman met with the members of the sales force and said there will be no more layoffs in 2008...I'm assuming that promise doesn't preclude Zieman from making a layoff announcement in December but not making the layoffs effective until January. If you have more info, email me or leave it in comments.

You got it. That's they way things are done there.
It stands to reason. There will be no more telling numbers until the next quarterly report and their credit rating just got slammed this month. Watch out after the new year though. They're a long way from done.
Something I have been wondering about. Have they even been announcing the layoffs associated with combining print operations?
They try and keep everything as silent as they can. They don't even know what communication is. Bottomline they could care less what you think or how you feel about anything.
Was that Gregory M. Zieman, or Mark Zieman trying to comfort a traumatized staff? I doubt Rhonda Chriss Lokeman, the worst journalist in the world, has any worries. How does that particular company relationship pass the smell test?
As publisher, I am approached as people would greet a dying man, with eyes downcast and in hushed tones. They are relieved to discover I’m optimistic about The Star’s future. They are astounded to hear we’re still solidly profitable.
