Calling all laid-off business news journalists

Talking Biz News blogger Chris Roush has posted the following, and asked me to do the same here.

If you have details of business news desk workers at Gannett papers who have lost their jobs this week, please e-mail them to me at croush@email.unc.edu. All correspondence will remain anonymous unless you'd prefer to be quoted. I'll post all of the names that I can get by the end of Friday. I'd like to commemorate their work in business journalism, and by exposing their names to the general business journalism public, maybe someone will offer them a new job.

Here's an update: Roush's Gannett list so far.

  2. What I got out of this posting:

    A reporter writes a story about a reporter writing stories about reporters who used to write stories.

    It's like black-on-black-on-black crime.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
