I wish they would go to a tabloid size as it's significantly easier to read. The tabloid size and lack of jump cuts (seriously, enough with these already... they're annoying as hell) are the only two good things that the Examiner does.

I effing love Jon Carroll... take it back. And please, let's not give Nevius the idea that he deserved any more money than he's already gotten.

"Bring me the head of DJTennessee"....is what Tim would probably write in response to your post.

Nancy Gay is/was a prominent sports columnist, and i saw (but never read) selvin's stuff. Their talents will probably be missed. I wish CW Nevius or Jon Carroll took the money and scrammed.

Wow, I don't recognize a single name on this list. Not one. I hope now they'll be able to find a publication where they'll actually get read.

The Chron is going deeper and deeper down the drain. Even I questioned the Chronicle's own priorities when they made the "snuggie" pub crawl their lead story on Sunday and brushed the missing kid story to Monday's newspaper. http://www.akit.org/2009/03/snuggies-over-missing-child-what-great.html

Kim Komenich won the Pulitzer Prize. Yawn. We know this already, genius. Also, they are not going to a tabloid size, they just unveiled a very expensive redesign and they aren't planning another.

Yawn. This list was up on Friday. Kim Komenich won the Pulitzer Prize. Notice how they're letting go of multiple shooters and copy editors, in the months before they switch on a new shining (non-union) printing press? They're going tabloid, folks (which is to say they're changing the format of the paper, from broadsheet to tabloid, not reporting on Jenna Bush's dalliances with demon bat boy). You don't need as many people to make that product, and you especially don't need as many cranky veteran photographers asking why their work is printed the size of a postage stamp.

Why isn't Mick LaSalle on this list?

I'd hire Bonnie Lemons just for her name. I could walk around pretending to be Jack Donaghy (like I don't already).

I wish somebody would give me a years pay and health insurance.

Oh, man. The LAST people the Chron needs to lose are copy editors. It's sad watching the paper die slowly like this.
