She's a One-Person Newsroom, But Lee Enterprises Kept Cutting

David Fahrenthold Retweeted

An update: I got fired today for doing this interview. Less than 24 hours before the Press goes to print. The paper is not finished, don’t know how it will be. On a personal level: it’s 3 days before my wedding, which my superiors knew. They couldn’t even wait for next week. 1/x



I love everything about this excellent report from
@MalloryNoePayne
--in less than eight minutes, she manages to provide a comprehensive look at what motivates local journalists & what we're up against w/ Lee. Featuring
@alisonkgraham
and
@Nick_Mathews
!




UPDATE: A spokesman for Lee just got back to me saying the position at The Floyd Press will be posted immediately and "The Floyd Press will print and be delivered without interruption."
