Sullivan, Photographer Shoreham | NY | USA | Posted: 9:04 PM on 12.05.08 ->> Gordon, I actually heard it was worse than they're letting on but I won't speculate. Since you and I freelance for the paper, it will be interesting to see how all of this shakes out. Very bad times indeed.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Rumor/speculation has staff cuts down to possibly 7 positions and these are going to be considered "multi media" jobs that staffers will have to reapply for. New positions will require shooting video and stills, at a reduced pay level. Again, rumor and speculation, but whatever happens, it sounds like it is going to be a substantial cut to the photo department. PhilD  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
