Hmm ... just a couple months ago, several major newspapers, including
the NYT, the San Jose Mercury News, and the LA Times, laid off
hundreds of reporters. This was only the most recent of many waves of
newsroom layoffs over the past few years. Many papers are finding
that it's not so easy to support a large newsroom staff when
newspaper readership and ad revenues are declining. Many find they
can rely on AP for basic coverage of world and national news, and
readers don't complain. But sure enough, the quality (and
comprehensiveness) of their coverage suffers.
