OT: Taps For The Press-Telegram
I just move into the periphery of their circulation area (there are a few folks here who get it, I see it in their driveways if I get up and walk the dogs early enough), and now it looks like the Long Beach Press-Telegram has been merged with the Daily Breeze. Kevin Roderick reports the publisher and managing editor were fired, as was the whole copy desk. Most operations jobs were moved to the Breeze's Torrance headquarters. A sad day for a newspaper that was 110 years old.
Update: More on this at the Stress-Telegram blog. Interesting that there's a piece about the connection between basic reporting and circulation and how small local newspapers seem to be doing well despite the overall downturn. We've got a couple small free weeklies here, one of which is actually worth reading (the Sun, published out of Seal Beach), and both of them seem to be doing reasonably well.
