A Western Michigan news opportunity

Here's a link to some available news jobs in Western Michigan. Make sure to read the comments, some are priceless.

Also rumblings of a major annoucement in two newspapers on the West side of the state - Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.

It's widely believed that there will be an announcement of lay-offs Friday morning in Grand Rapids. Perhaps with people being laid-off immediately throughout the editorial departments and copy desks.

I'm posting the above with reservations, because it is from an anonymous source I would ask folks to consider the source before taking complete stock in it.

As you may recall, Booth informed employees that the job security pledge will end on Feb. 5 and that there likely will be layoffs. Just a matter of when the announcement will come.

65 people laid-off at The GR Press. They will be required to work for about a month to get their severance.

Oh yeah, it happened, at least at the Kalamazoo Gazette. Press and production moving to G.R. in March. Layoffs throughout Advertising and Editorial.
