Local Newspaper Lays Off 49 Employees

Reported by Logan Leger on Tue, May 19th, 2009 in News and tagged: , , , , , ,

It’s not joke that our traditional news outlets in Baton Rouge are pretty top-notch and they’ve so far been able to avoid to plight of other less fortunate news outlets (such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer). However, today David Manship, publisher of The Advocate, announced the termination of 49 employees due to economic hardships. We all feel for these Baton Rougeans and hope they find work soon—and that they can find it in our beloved city.

More information is here.

In other news, the Baton Rougean hasn’t laid off anyone.
