Another one bites the dust?
A picture taken from the blog of ‘the Stranger’ in Seattle. The Seattle P-I is on it’s last legs. I’ve also got wind of layoffs at CBS radio in Seattle not to mention the potential massive layoffs that Microsoft is flirting with. The decline of the Seattle market is a cannary in the coal mine. We aren’t through this yet.

CBS radio as well as Clear Channel. As for Microsoft…those are supposed to be announced Thursday when the quarterly profits come out. Then there’s a big ‘come to jesus meeting’ with Ballmer on friday.
Q13’s parent company is bankrupt (employees actually go to work there everyday worried the doors will be locked and the building dark)
The Seattle Times isn’t finished with layoffs yet.
KIRO and KING have quietly let a dozen or so staffers go.
Fisher reduced workforce by 10% over last year.
But look at any other market…and you’ll see its actually worse.
