Awful news about Tony Jackson, Dodgers beat writer, getting laid off by the Daily News. It’s difficult to comprehend there only being two beat writers covering the team now.
Like Diamond Leung, also let go recently, Tony is too talented not to get a gig somewhere. He did some TV work on ESPN last year, so maybe he can parlay that somehow.
Best of luck, Tony.
So sad, another writer being laid off. This follows two people I know in the printing industry being let go from their jobs just last week. I might have to face the fact that one day, I’ll wake up and instead of greeting the day by wondering what flower bed I’ll find my morning paper in, I’ll just be turning a power switch.
Though it’s been a long time coming, it’s still a shock to see the industry disintegrating the way it has been this last year.
