    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.

Discussion Papers have not undergone formal review and approval. Such papers are included in this series to elicit feedback and to encourage debate on important issues and challenges in media, politics and public policy. Copyright belongs to the author(s).

Introduction “Between 1970 and 2016, the year the American Society of News Editors quit counting how many newspapers had fallen, 500 dailies went out of business,” reported Jill Lepore in her New Yorker article this year titled Does Journalism Have a Future?. This comes as no surprise to those who follow news. Unless you live in a major urban center where a local paper has a wealthy owner, you have also seen the slimming down of your newspaper. The decline has intensified. Between 2004 and 2018, nearly 1,800 dailies and weeklies closed. Today, half of U.S. counties have only one newspaper while 200 counties have none, according to a University of North Carolina Between 2004 study.

    EDMUND G. BROWN JR. MARK S. GHILARDUCCI GOVERNOR DIRECTOR February 26, 2018 Sheryl Bratton County Administrator 575 Administration Drive, Suite 104A Santa Rosa, CA 95403 Dear Administrator Bratton: Attached, please find our limited-scope, independent assessment that you requested via letter on November 27, 2017, regarding the emergency notification process and response to the devastating wildfires that affected Sonoma County. Every major disaster affords us all the opportunity to examine what worked and where improvements can be achieved. This specific assessment is meant to be a primer and help guide your After Action review of response actions taken, modifications to plans and procedures, training needs, and recovery activities as required by the Emergency Services Act (California Government Code section 8550, et seq.) and Title 19, Section 2450 of the California Code of Regulations. It is important to understand that this assessment was prepared in good faith by two of our alert and warning technical staff who are guided by the state’s Standardized Emergency Management System, State of California Emergency Plan, and Cal OES best practices. Their focus was to better understand Sonoma County’s automated warning systems and, generally, what decisions were made as described by those who voluntarily offered their perspective. This assessment should not be considered an investigation that evaluates the specific decisions made with regard to emergency notifications during the wildfires, nor should this assessment be construed as providing conclusive findings regarding the actions of any individuals interviewed or involved in the process of emergency response and management during the wildfires. Rather, this assessment provides a high-level review of the emergency notification systems that are in place in Sonoma County and that were in place at the time of the wildfires.
