Lou Carlozo to cover the recession -- then made him a victim of the recession. Carlozo writes: "
'The Recession Diaries' blog was a beat I did not want nor ask for, and it involved me telling very tough stories about my own family finances -- stories that led me and my wife to squabble many times over which details to withhold, which to print, and which ones looked inappropriate in print after the fact. I wanted to post a final blog Wednesday to readers explaining that I had lost my job, a victim of the very recession I covered. I posted this without management's approval. I then informed management. Management took it down."
