Spartacus over and out
Pageviews are down to a trickle. Jobs that people are sending in are found on obvious job boards like journalismjobs.com so nobody need to look for them here. Thank you all for your help and attention. I'm sorry it was necessary.
Don't know if any or many are still checking in here, but wanted to let all know about an upcoming workshop the Press Club is putting on - "Life After Layoffs." Panels on Putting Passion into Profit/Productivity, Preparing Yourself for the "Dark Side" of Corporate/Agency PR and Resume Do's and Don'ts. Free to Press Club members, $5 for non. Mon, Feb 27, 3 p.m., Irving Convention Center.
To offer a voice and a forum and a source of information during layoffs and now buyouts at the Dallas Morning News.

Whenever this blog is active, the rules will not change: Personal attacks will not be posted or tolerated. Nobody's name will be listed as laid off without that person's permission. Anyone who wants to pass along information -- or plausible rumors -- please e-mail me at DMNcuts (at) gmail.com. Farewell messages ditto.
If anyone asks you if you run this blog, please answer "I am Spartacus" and ask why they want to know. For obvious reasons, anonymity is necessary.
