Please let it be Diane Carmen, Jim Spencer & Cindy Rodriguez!!!!
They should all write a final essay stating how and why they lost their jobs.
Would there be any hint of contrition? Of course not, they would blame everyone but themselves.
It’s kinda ironic these papers laying off newsroom staff. With the advent of the internet, about the best equity they should have is their news content / capacity since the papers will be going away. If these guys were really moving to the internet like most papers say they are, then they would be keeping the news staff.
Death spiral —
1. Revenue drops
2. Staff is cut
3. Content suffers as a result of cuts
4. Drop in circulation due to content
5. Drop in revenue due to drop in circulation
6. Prices of ads and delivered products are raised
7. Revenue drops even more, puzzling the staff who never studied supply and demand. They blame Gen X-ers and bad public education.
8. Owners gather to plan more staff cuts
The keen creative mind of Martin Fierro shows what awaits the staff re employee reductions at the Dinosaur fishwraps and ABCNNBCBS as their phoney businesses spiral down into the liberal cesspool of history.
