Title: Is there life after newspapers?
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
From ROBERT HODIERNE: I am a journalism professor at the University of Richmond, in Richmond, Va. I have been commissioned by American Journalism Review to do a survey of folks who've left newspapers in the past few years under circumstances that were less than voluntary (e.g. buyouts and layoffs). As you might imagine, finding a comprehensive list from which to draw a random sample is impossible. Instead what we're doing is an exploratory survey of as large a selection of folks who fit that description as possible. The survey asks about the circumstances of their departure from a paper, the size of the severance and so forth. It also asks what they're doing these days. It also hopes to explore a bit about their morale before and after their departure.

I could use some help publicizing the survey. The more who take part, the more informative the results will be. A link to the survey is at AJR.org. [Permalink]
