Athens-Clarke County and Oconee County are about to lose the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and 30 percent of the paper's news staff is about to be cut. Of course, as I've argued at Safe As Houses, this would seem to be a backward way of addressing the real problem ... which is the fundamental fact that the old model of journalism is dying.
The craft of journalism will live on, but just in a new medium. So, again, I think it's foolish to lop off those who generate your content rather than restructure your program, thus amending your model and resulting in lower personnel costs in other areas.
