The Newhouse family sold the 182-year-old daily The Times-Picayune and its website, nola.com, to a scrappy New Orleans competitor, and the entire staff is being laid off. That has stirred worries across the other papers in the family’s Advance Publications empire.
A total of 161 staff members are being laid off, according to a WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) notice filed with the Louisiana Workforce Commission, which listed 65 reporter and editor jobs in the bloodbath.

Reporters have an awful time maintaining their vocation.
They turn around to find themselves on permanent vacation.
Secure employment for a scribe is getting just as rare
as reduction of the New York Subway System fare.
They need to have a second job, if writing comes a cropper.
I suggest they look into the job of common pauper.
