Editor axed
The editor in chief of the newspaper that's my main competition is suddenly unemployed. Employees, who apparently didn't know it was coming, were informed of this Wednesday, and some even cried. After working for the paper for 10 years, he was scheduled to become the next president of a California newspaper editors association.I've met him on more than one occasion when we attended meetings together, and he seemed like a nice guy. Of course, I've never worked for him, so that's completely different. I do think it says something, though, that there were tears at the announcement, and that it sounds like it wasn't at all expected.
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that the paper was bought by Dow Jones & Co. in April.
