Creative Loafing Downsizes

I remember when media organizations in Atlanta were pretty snarky about each other’s troubles. When I was a reporter at the Atlanta Business Chronicle, management would try to generate staff spirit by talking about how our circulation numbers were up and the AJC’s were (slowly) declining. What a difference a decade makes. Now, everyone’s numbers are (rapidly) declining, staffs are shrinking and quality is inevitably suffering. I am guessing reporters all over town were sad yesterday when hearing CL’s news. I know I was. And I’m just a PR person.
