| ->> Carl... that's a hard one to swallow. The ADN staff is some of the best in the business and hands-down the best of my internships. Hopefully they won't be web-only anytime soon. |

| ->> Bradly, the shooters there are great. Even let me use the strobes at the Sullivan when they leave early for their deadlines. Great guys...too bad their employer (McClatchy) is doing this here, and all over the place. I hope Marc Lester and Bob Hallinen are safe for this round... |

Newspaper cuts open door to more political trickery
By JAMES RAINEY
March 20, 2009
Political consultants aren't exactly rubbing their hands together and snickering. But as the hired guns look over a landscape of closing newspapers and laid-off investigative reporters, they sense an opening that leaves them both excited and queasy.
One operative told me this week about planting attacks on opponents in partisan blogs, knowing the stories could bleed into mainstream news outlets, without leaving any incriminating fingerprints. Another described how he got green reporters to write stories (no campaign cash wasted!) on ads that the candidate had no intention of ever paying to put on TV.
"They don't know any better," the consultant chuckled. "So we can get away with that one again." http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-et-rainey20-2009mar20,0,7281321.story |

->> Looks like the low man on the totem pole will be laid off at the N&O. Twelve were laid off last week in the newsroom in what are considered "unique" positions. Now they will likely lay off one from each "group" to get to the number they need.
It looks like one from the photo staff which is good considering the circumstances.
Furloughs for the survivors are likely. My guess is that McClatchy will wait until the Tournament is over for Duke, Carolina, and UNC women - Duke women lost tonight as a 1 seed on 9 seed Michigan State's home court.
I have my hopes up for those at the N&O. It is a great paper with dynamic, award-winning photographers including Shawn Rocco, Chuck Liddy, Scott Sharpe, Jason Arthurs, Travis Long, Julie Leonard, Corey Lowenstein, John Rottet, Robert Willet, Ethan Hyman, Kevin Kiester, Chris Seward, and Ted Richardson. |
