GateHouse Media Layoffs; Cut Reporter Posts Epic Rant To Newspaper's Blog
GateHouse Media has laid off seven people in the newsroom of the Norwich Bulletin. One of them was James Craven, an award-winning journalist with a pretty impressive talent of firing up righteous indignation.
Craven posted about the layoffs to his blog on the Bulletin’s site, saying that Gatehouse was “cannibaliz[ing] the newspaper.”
Unsurprisingly, the company removed his post, but Dan Kennedy captured a PDF of the post so it will live in perpetuity.
It blasts the paper for making the cuts despite being profitable (and despite paying a Gatehouse exec a $750,000 bonus last year).
