When the Shoe Is On the Other Foot

A tip of the hat to Joyce Fitzpatrick, who sent along this news item:



“The News & Observer is preparing to lay off about 10 percent of its newsroom staff and will announce other cuts affecting its news operation, sources inside the N&O tell WRAL.com.”



And the N&O responded exactly the same way that its targets sometimes do:



“Asked about layoffs, Felicia Gressette, vice president of marketing for the N&O who spoke on behalf of publisher Orage Quarles III, said, ‘We’re just not going to comment’.”



Gressette added: “Any changes will be announced in the N&O, not WRAL.com.”



By the way, my associates and I are available to provide media-relations help to the N&O during this challenging time. Pass it on.
