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.

Centre Daily Times lays off 4 employees
The Centre Daily Times has laid off 4 employees, according to Erica Smith at the PaperCuts blog. The cuts were effective June 29, 2009.
Ah, yes, the Centre Daily Times, which was supposed to be the grand experiment where online and print were blended in a college town, offering the rest of the McClatchy chain a model to save them all. It was the first to redesign off the horrid KRD platform. Fat lotta good.

...build success through a fierce commitment to learning and to creating essential products. ...HMM Build success? Create essential products? Get rid of "non -essential" employees sounds more like it. Thank you Al Gore and the internet YOU created for all of us losing our jobs. (...did Al Gore really invent the internet?...I didn't know that. I didn't see it in any McClatchy papers...WOW Al Gore and the internet...who da thot! And I thought he was responsible for global warming!)
