layoffs suck! my heart hurts. i still believe in journalism. but not like i used to. we need to evolve to meet changing news consumption habits while maintaining journalistic integrity. we need to better serve our readers and keep employees employed, happy and well-compensated.

pro tip: please never start a conversation with a journalist that begins with "off the record." ask if something can be "off the record" and come to a mutual decision instead :)
