““I leave with great sadness, but not a trace of bitterness.We all know what is happening to the newspaper industry, and it is not pretty. Even though this is officially termed a “reduction in force,” I am surprised and dismayed that the organization thinks it can have a future without me. To be honest, I thought I’d get the chance to help lead the paper where it needed to go to compete successfully in the digital age.”
