Because of heightened interest over the most recent round of layoffs this month, McClatchy Watch has had more than 240,000 hits this month. Thanks to all of you who read, send in tips and leave comments. I expect readership will drop off in April, and maybe even beyond. As I've said before, I'll probably end this blog sometime after MNI files bankruptcy. But until then, McClatchy keeps giving me new stuff to blog about every day, so I'll keep bringing you new McClatchy info every day. Again, thanks for reading. .

Well deserved, you're doing an excellent job. From one of your liberal readers.
..No doubt, McClatchy considers those extra hits to be a win-win situation and a sign that their corporation has " turned the corner " on declining interest.
..Similar to the situation just before a tsunami hits when the tide receeds and the locals rush out to pick up all the free fish....
You are the only site with unbiased
updates.
Though the Marxist lying lib MNI press won't agree.
Viva CUBA!!

If you do or have been laid off, I wish you all the best, and mean it.
Another liberal here.....must agree, you do an awesome job, thanks for providing such an excellent way for us to "vent"!
As another liberal Democrat, I find it refreshing that people have the freedom to let 'er rip about things they've had to hold in while working for McClatchy. Very eye-opening. Where else can you find such raw, honest emotion about a company? Too bad our newspapers aren't as fun to read.
I am not sure MNI just going into bankruptcy will make it safe to let our guard down. You see these vampires in their coffins, supposedly dead, and they rise right up, and start sucking blood anew. Melanie Sill has to be in the breadline before I will feel truly safe.
You're going to be around longer than you might think my friend. Bankruptcy is not the end of McClatchy. It is the step before then end. The end will not come till liquidation and that will be at least a year after the courts take control, or when their creditors finally realize that they cannot repay during the course of generation.
I miss our stock experts. We need to get back into our investment discussions when things settle down.
For a minute I thought this was another Rhonda Lokeman piece, but yes, great job. And, to the former reporters on here and to those of varied ideological persuasions. I think it's interesting that we would all like to see a newspaper industry that let's reporters report what they see in front of them without bias.
I know I have been covered very fairly by reporters I knew to be quite liberal. It's not the ideology its a mindset towards integrity. Lee Judge at The Star dishes it out, but before he was canned you could go on his blog and give as hard as he did and he took it as well as he dished it out.
So when they brought him back, what did they do - eliminated any possibility to comment on his columns and got rid of his blog, coercing him into being as much of a Stalinist as Donovan, Pepper or Abouhalkah.
Thanks for all your hard work! Keeping informed = keeping (relatively) sane in these tough times, and this blog is a big part of that.
