The Tampa Tribune will merge its newsroom with WFLA amid a new round of layoff and re-focus toward the web, according the The Feed, a blog by Eric Deggans of the St. Petersburg Times.
The Trib layoffs made news headlines when newsroom intern Jessica DaSilva reported in her blog about a speech Tampa Tribune editor Janet Coats gave amid the most recent layoff announcement. In responding to questions from staff, Coats said the news industry is, "worth fighting for."
Jeff Jarvis has a perspective on the story at BuzzMachine.
The entire newspaper industry is trying to figure out how to re-shape itself amid a growing recession and rapidly declining readership. A number of people are writing about the industry. Here are some highlights:
- Nick Eaton, a sports multimedia producer at The Spokesman-Review, writes about a newsroom re-invention challenge.
