Dallas journalism crumbles

The Dallas Morning News has axed 200 people in its latest round of layoffs; names and details coming at the linked blog. That, in turn, means that the freelance and PR markets in job seeking are officially filled to overflowing.

Alt media?

Well, the Observer has news the News doesn’t cover, but its parent isn’t necessarily in the greatest shape itself. (Alt-weeklies have been losing classifieds to Craigslist faster, in some areas, than metro dailies.)

Suburban papers? Can’t speak about others in our area. Mine continues to muddle, as far as I know any details from above. But, muddling is still employed. I empathize with the stress levels.
