Why you're seeing more empty desks at work

U.S. newspaper industry employment fell 2.8%, to about 350,000, during the first 10 months of 2007, Editor & Publisher says today. That was a loss of about 10,000 employees from the same period in 2006. The trade journal notes that 66 employees lined up in August for severance packages at The Tennessean in Nashville, but only 24 were granted.
