New Orleans Times-Picayune employees to learn their fates next week

[pacalo]

1. This is shocking. They're only going to publish the newspaper 3 days a week!

It's terrible the way the new publisher is handling the turnover:

(btw, Gambit is a locally-owned, weekly newspaper in New Orleans)

Gambit spoke to more than a dozen T-P employees — reporters, senior writers, columnists and editors — all of whom said they learned of their fates from The New York Times report.

"My supervisor didn't even fucking know," said one reporter. "My supervisor."

"I had to find this out by Twitter," said another. "Do I go in to the office tomorrow? Do I even have a job to go in to tomorrow? I don't know. No one has called me. No one has said anything."

On Twitter, crime reporter Brendan McCarthy wrote, “Just learned in the NY Times that my newspaper, my employer, my morning routine may cease to exist.”
