I look back at my summer at the Mobile Press-Register as one of the best of my life thus far. I hope things come around quickly for everyone involved.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions David A.

I get that it is business but it strikes me that cutting nearly 50% of the newsroom staff, the content creators, is managerial malpractice. I have long referred to this as, "the snake eating its tail." At what point does a media company have nothing left to sell in its market. No one covers New Orleans like the Times-Picayune. With half of the watchful eyes blinded by a business decision, the citizens and the city will be at a disadvantage. With similar news from Detroit and other cities, I wonder when we will finally reach the bottom.  This post is:  Informative (2) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Times in 2006, my heart goes out to the professionals in New Orleans and Alabama. There will be hard and challenging days ahead -- but you'll also learn a lot about yourselves. Whether you choose to redefine what it means to be a successful photographer, by creating a new business model, or if you choose to pursue something else, I wish you nothing but the best of luck.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You mean, city hall will be out of control with fewer watchdogs to worry about.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?
