‘Heartbroken’: staff laid off as California TV station abruptly closes newsroom
This week KION-TV, a broadcast news outlet on California’s central coast that’s been on the air for more than 50 years, announced it was entering a “new chapter” with a San Francisco CBS affiliate to bring expanded coverage to its viewers. But staff say the development has been devastating for the operation – the newsroom, which covers Salinas, Santa Cruz and Monterey, suddenly shuttered and more than a dozen people were laid off. Local news has collapsed across the US in recent decades, with a 75% drop in local journalists since 2002, according to a report from Muck Rack and Rebuild Local News, which describes the decline as “alarming and widespread." -- nordy

This past week did it. You could almost feel the great sleeping giant of America open an eye and frown, then blink both eyes and sit up and stretch, and then roar, “What the hell is going on here?” -- nordy This past week did it.
