I stumbled upon this map at graphicdesignr today through journalistopia.
It’s got a google mashup of all the layoffs and buyouts announced this year. It’s staggering.

I’m so sorry to hear you were one of the people laid off at McClatchy. Tribune Co. will be doing the same thing soon — which doesn’t make it better, bearable or even OK.
Best of luck.
A) Sorry to hear about the job loss.
B) Don’t fret, there are jobs out there both online and off.
C) In the future be wary of your blogging if you plan on staying in the journalism field.
D) If you truly love journalism you will land on your feet and be OK.
Best of luck.
Thanks Erica and Steve. I think I’ll end up OK, so I’m trying to treat this as a well-deserved vacation.
I really appreciate the job links, too. Also, I love blogging, but I’ve rarely, if ever written about work until this happened. I just had to write so badly when it all happened, and in general, you know?
Not trying to be too negative, but I was one of the three IT techs laid off last November by USA Today, and I have yet to find a new, similar job. ALL newspapers are cutting back, and IT is easy-pickin’s because it’s not a profit center.
