A story today in the newspaper I work for, the Daily Breeze, makes even murkier an already muddy subject considering the future of the newspaper ... and thus my future as a professional journalist.
Originally, we were told in June that, due to the bad economics of newspaper advertising in light of the recent trend to cluster publications by region, we were looking for a partner, alliance or buyer. At the time, the (now former) editor explained we were dropping our handkerchief hoping a courting lover will retrieve it. For months, they've been telling us an announcement is "expected any day." I won't go into the perceived effects this news has had on morale. My job is already in jeopardy, and I don't want to make it worse by getting dooced.
