Oh my darlin.

Am sending you ink-stained wishes of love and fortitude and admiration and newsgal-power. Will be listening for opportunities for you as well as myself (even the dark side is cutting back).

We loves you.

I just have to say, I am honored to know people like you who still believe in journalism as a cause. I was raised on that idea, and baptized in it on the school paper at Vanderbilt. I was disillusioned to see the harsh reality of for-profit journalism in the real world.

I am so glad that you, Howard and others like you still do believe — despite what the newspaper beancounters may tell us today. Because I think you’re both right — the NEWS is the part that matters.

Who knows where you’ll end up — but your principles will always matter.

Way too many of us dealing with this. What a sucky time of year for this to be happening, too.

I’m so, so sorry.

I loved being a newspaper guy and figured I’d do it one way or another until I retired. But the beancounters and the meeting jockeys killed it long before the circulation figures did, and by the time I left there was almost nothing that remained but bitterness and relief.

Sounds like it’s time for you to begin your migration.

Stay strong, ‘Coma. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for any opportunities that look good for you.

Much love.

Changing times for sure. I am adding a link to an article by the Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonensis about economic ideas. They’re pretty wide open, but #10 is certainly interesting from a media point of view.
