That's why they call it the Scar

[sigma7]

KC Star lays off 50 employees. (Moar info here.) No, this is not a repeat; this is the third time layoffs -- I'm sorry, "an involuntary workforce reduction" -- hit the paper in the last five months. This is not entirely remarkable -- US News & World Report has gone from weekly to biweekly to monthly in the same timespan. Not that US News is the most notable such incident (I could go on, but I think we can live with one less death knell today), just the most amusing to me because it gets shunted backwards almost as quickly as my NaNoWriMo project.

Anyone still employed by print, have an escape plan.
