Worst-case scenerio would be shut down ... is that what they mean?
Wouldn't the "worse, worst case scenario" being the newspaper ceasing publication? I mean, it can't get worse than that, right?
Could the "worst, worst case scenerio" be layoffs combined with some sort of bigger merger with The Charlotte Observer?
“Worst-case scenario”
I think it means the fewest number of employees to keep the paper up and running. That is still a horrible thought, but it does offer hope for a comeback when the economy improves. I am not talking about the comeback of the newspaper business as it was, but a new awakened news media ready to meet the future.
OMG It means...No not that...Worst case scenario...They are...They might publish a Normal non-lib newspaper.. No, not that.
Go out of business. Do anything else. But not that!
The end of the month? They do realize it's not February any more, right?
“Worst-case scenario” - Means barebones staff, but it better be the best bones, or else the end will come anyway.
Could be. There has been talk for quite some time about combining the resources of Charlotte, Raleigh and Rock Hill to save money and avoid redundancies. They already share news content and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to have the advertising staff sell for all three papers.
Re: 201's "Means barebones staff, but it better be the best bones, or else the end will come anyway."
This is what I'm most interested in. The past few cuts in Raleigh have been anything but this. I'm shocked at how much dead weight remains there, and how many excellent people are out the door (good for them, though!)
Keep us updated! I worked there years ago and have lost touch with everyone I knew back in those days.
