I knew this would happen eventually. I think we all did.
After a long hiring freeze, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution announced today that it's going to cut 30 percent of its newsroom staff in order to save money. With a large metro paper like the AJC, that's about 90 reporters out of a job - just like that.
It's interesting to think about who within the AJC wrote the article referencing the paper's impending doom. Was it a handful of metro editors who are safe from the mounting layoffs? Or was it a reporter who has yet to discover that he's on his way out?
Now what?

Kelly Ann, the print media country-wide is taking a hit due to lack of readership. People are tired of being fed more ads than news, more opinion than facts. We discussed this very thing in Orlando this past week. Their once prominent newspaper is little more than a few article within pages of ads. People aren't thrilled to pay more for less. Nancy
