No fun to be a journalist these days

On 08/09/2008, in Uncategorized

Great panel at PRSA on Thursday: AJC, CBS News, WSB AM, People Magazine, LA Times all represented. My first question to them was what it’s like on the job these days. The print guys both said the same thing. (See headline.) One of the matters discussed briefly was the future of AJC Business Columnist Maria Saporta, who is one of 70 reporters accepting a buyout. She’s much too high profile to go unused, and isn’t talking about her next move. Could it be the Business Chronicle? Former publisher Ed Baker and I once talked about my taking a similar role for his paper, but he wasn’t impressed with what I could deliver in the way of business “gossip.” Maria owns that space.
