Layoffs at the Tribune

Layoffs were announced at the Tribune yesterday, and that's never a good thing, but I will note this one comment in the article, and unlike most corporate speak, I think they really mean it...

"Under the publishing realignment, which will go into effect Jan. 1, the company plans to 'invest more concertedly' in digital growth."

My next column for the Illinois Entertainer will be about one division of that digital group, a rare positive story about the newspaper business. It comes out on December 1st.
