Wow. What a week. E.W. Scripps announces it's putting the Rocky Mountain News up for sale (amid rumors it might shut the paper down), the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press are talking about cutting home delivery to three days a week and the Tribune Co. files for bankruptcy. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, employees of the Copley Press, owners of The San Diego Union-Tribune, are told contributions to the company's pension plan will cease Jan. 31. The latest development comes after the announcement that an editor and reporter are leaving the paper, yielding yet two more vacant desks in a newsroom some have likened to a scene in The Day After.
And we still don't know when we're going to hit bottom.
As for me, I'm popping open another bottle of Cabernet (Greg Norman, North Coast, 2006 - in case anyone's wondering what to get me for the holidays) and hoping this will all go away in the morning.
