50 positions is about 7% of all employees. The paper has 762 employees at present.

I know too many people who go apoplectic when I say rags like The State should be closed down.

Tampa Times, Tampa Tribune use to be fairly conservative news outlets.
Years ago it changed in to a liberal unreadable rag.
They deserve to go out of bidness.

They’re owned by the Washington Post. Will not bring that rag into my house even though my hubby likes the comics, except for doonsbury.

They were nothing but crooks. The delivery bosses were just thugs that terrorized the kids that did the real delivery of the papers.

You had to pay for the papers even if the customer didn’t pay you at the end of the week. The thug bosses still demanded the money.

If you try to quit the thug boss would threaten physical harm.

What does “newsprint” mean? Is this ink, paper or what?
