  • About a Quarter of Large U.S. Newspapers Laid Off Staff in 2018
    EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M. EDT, AUG. 1, 2019 About a quarter of large U.S. newspapers laid off staff in 2018 BY ELIZABETH GRIECO Layoffs continue to pummel staff at U.S. newspapers. Roughly a quarter of papers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or more experienced layoffs in 2018, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. The layoffs come on top of the roughly one-third of papers in the same circulation range that experienced layoffs in 2017. What’s more, the number of jobs typically cut by newspapers in 2018 tended to be higher than in the year before. Mid-market newspapers were the most likely to suffer layoffs in 2018 – unlike in 2017, when the largest papers most frequently saw cutbacks. Meanwhile, digital-native news outlets also faced continued layoffs: In 2018, 14% of the highest- traffic digital-native news outlets went through layoffs, down slightly from one-in-five in 2017. The following analysis examines layoffs at large newspapers and digital-native news outlets during the full 2017 and 2018 calendar years. An earlier analysis by the Center looked at layoffs at news organizations covering the period from January 2017 to April 2018. Roughly a third of newspapers that had layoffs in 2018 saw multiple rounds About one-in-four U.S. newspapers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or higher (27%) experienced one or more publicly reported layoffs in 2018, according to the study, which examined EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M.

  • Winners of 52Nd Annual Socal Journalism Awards Announced
    Winners of 52nd Annual SoCal Journalism Awards Announced A. JOURNALISTS OF THE YEAR A $1,000 CASH PRIZE: BEST IN SHOW: Greg Katz, Los Angeles Daily Journal A1. PRINT (Over 50,000 circulation) Alana Semuels, Los Angeles Times. Judges’ comments: In a year in which no story mattered more than the pain caused by the economic downturn, Semuels nonetheless found fresh and engaging ways to bring a heavily covered story to life. Whether profiling a dying lumber town or a booming community of pot farmers, Semuels brought the economy to life in human terms and took a story often reduced to lifeless statistics and made it viscerally real. Her story about the web of connection linking a handful of the recession’s victims was masterful storytelling. And listen to this lede from the aforementioned pot-growing story: “Education has long been preached as a way to keep kids away from drugs. It’s the walk to school that has Superintendent Tom Barnett worried.” 2nd: Christine Pelisek, LA Weekly HM: Patrick Range McDonald, LA Weekly A2. PRINT (Under 50,000 circulation) Greg Katz, Los Angeles Daily Journal. Judges’ comments: Mr. Katz work uncovering the startling lack of basic civil rights in California’s secretive parole system will leave you speechless.
