Some staffers at the Hattiesburg American claim to have seen a memo that says The Clarion-Ledger copy desk in Jackson, Miss., will soon begin producing the American's pages. Apparently the copy editing would still be done in Hattiesburg. This has been rumored since Jackson began printing for Hattiesburg, but apparently it will occur sooner than anybody thought it would.Can anyone confirm -- and add details?

Huh? Hatiesburg didn't even have copy editors when I was there. They only had page designers.
ReplyDeleteGannett continues to destroy this small-town paper. No matter how hard the remaining good employees try, they will not be able to overcome Gannett's shortsighted mission to sap any meaningful watchdog and community service role from this and other publications.
ReplyDeleteIt's the page designers they'd be moving to Jackson. All copy editing would still be done in Hattiesburg.
ReplyDeleteSo does this include the Layout coordinator or just the graphic artist?
