This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

Former McClatchy newspaper files for bankruptcy protection
Not long ago there was a humorous article about [fill in the blank] journalism. Actually, there are dozens of articles warning bloggers to stay away from that easy writing, fallback trap. However, it does seem there could be a template for bankrupt newspapers.
The cost of labor______ blah, blah, blah______
The cost of labor does have to be managed, but I wonder, who’s salary is breaking the back of journalism? Is it the staff that makes the working-class wages who actually deliver the content, or the redundant staff in editing who correct commas, or (blinder-wearing) management who go to meetings all day and draw the six-figure salaries?
