    Wow, 4 months from retirement. Seems cruel. I hope the Tribune gets eggers on their collective faces over this one.

    Newspaper industry taking hard hits

    • EO Media Group, the parent company of more than a dozen newspapers in Oregon and Washington, announced March 25 that it’s cutting staff by 47, the Bulletin of Bend reported.

    • Untold numbers of weekly, alternative and specialty papers are cutting staff, stopping print or shutting down. Among them, the Portland Mercury, the Portland Observer, Portland Monthly and Street Roots have put on hold or delayed upcoming issues, while Willamette Week cut its print run in half, The Oregonian reported.

    • Pamplin Media Group is merging all 20 of its papers into regional publications. The Portland Tribune and other papers in the Pamplin Media chain cut reporters’ hours, according to employees, The Oregonian reported. The Columbian (Vancouver, Washington) cut its printed page number, The Oregonian said.

    • The Dalles Chronicle and Hood River News were going to stop publishing this week, according to sources at the papers, The Oregonian reported. That was staved off when Publisher Chelsea Marr moved to buy the papers from ex-congressman Denny Smith.

    We have security because of our billionaire owner. We'll still be sharing our wisdom together, if we're the the last message board on Earth.

    I am the only one here who ogles Denny's giant yacht every time it stops in Bellingham Bay.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I got into the writing game late. The electric pencil had already been invented, so I'll never know what writing used to be, before the whole scene was revolutionized.
