   Tribune's hostile response

   Reporting on your own layoff... sounded familiar. Then I remembered a similar situation last September, when NPR reporter Ketzel Levine's story on layoffs was punctuated with her own firing. A very different response from two very different corporate entities.

   What was the Tribune thinking? There is nothing negative in his post. In fact, he thanked the owner of the tribune and his boss. His post is the kind of article or news that people WANT to see in newspapers.

   This is exactly why 'new media' - sites like this; other forums - and such are SO MUCH BETTER than the old media.
   
   More views, more opinion, more analysis.
   
   After all - who is the 'News' for? The media companies or the public? I can only make a big assumption and say, if not for the public the news would be worthless.

   One in the hospital, two in the morgue

   That's the Chicago way.

   They made...

   They made the article an offer it couldn't refuse.

   Possible Reason to Spike the Story

   Most of his post wasn't very controversial, but he did declare that "I am part of an industry-wide trend that will likely result in the death of print journalism within five years time." That's a pretty fatalistic view to put in a paper that's struggling to stay afloat.
   
   Lou Cardozo also rips them a new one on his own site today, so it's not like he was going gently into that good night.
   
   If you were his immediate supervisor, and you're mindful your own job could be next on the chopping block, would you take the risk to run his parting shot?

   Lou Carlozo

   I was surprised to see this post - Lou is a good friend of my dad's. Great guy - it's a shame to see him go. Loved what he did, too. Hopefully this free publicity will help him land a new gig.
   
   By the way, I would certainly not say that he 'ripped them a new one' in the link Rogers provided...

   Why Not?

   He pointed out the $13 million in bonuses, called a company memo "extremely disingenuous" and said the Tribune was "losing readers like a trauma victim loses blood and internal organs." He's not a happy camper (and as someone who knows a laid-off journalist myself, I can't blame him).
