Media today…“My career ended while I was in the bathroom”

Media today…This link is a wonderful soulful read “My career ended while I was in the bathroom”  by David Sheets about how and where he found out he was being lay-off from the newspaper where he has worked for the past 14 years in the U.S.  The article is particularly insightful as photographers, journalists, subeditors, designers, etc. across Australia wait to hear if their jobs will be made redundant.  Fairfax redundancies will be announced soon and News Ltd job losses are still unfolding.  Many of my colleagues ponder the future as their chosen career in journalism will end.  In Australia, there will be few options to remain in traditional media and many talented people will be rethinking and retraining.  It is a sad, uncertain time in media around the world.
