<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 26402505, member: 25270&quot;]I used to work for a local newspaper. I started there in 2006 with about 50 staff members. I stayed for five years enduring constant layoffs, downsizing, &quot;turnaround plans,&quot; etc., before leaving in 2011. That paper still exists technically but I&#039;m not sure they even have a single staff member. They&#039;re just part of a larger company that uses a few freelancers and staffers from other publications to throw something together. You can be sure the local coverage is almost nonexistent. It&#039;s a huge problem. I think every single person I knew in journalism is working outside the industry now or retired.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
