Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 8:41am on Monday, December 28th, 2009 | Sacramento Bee/McClatchy watchdog shuts down his blog on December 23, 2009:
"After blogging for 27 months it's time for me to hang up my laptop.
I've wrestled for the past 2 weeks whether to keep blogging, and decided it's time to quit McClatchy Watch. I have more responsibilities at work, and I have plans for more time with my family. I need a break, too. No, this won't be a temporary break; I don't plan to start blogging again.
There is a definite demand for newspaper watchdog blogs. McClatchy has over 9,000 employees and I know from my stats that tons of them checked in here on a regular basis. My traffic also benefited from people -- plenty of them -- fascinated by the decline happening in the newspaper business. Somewhere a blog will rise to meet the thirst for information."

Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 2:40pm on Thursday, December 17th, 2009 | Sacramento Bee Wants Cut In Severance Pay To Laid-Off Staffers, the Sacramento News & Review reported on December 17, 2009:
"Currently, the maximum severance pay allowed is 40 weeks. This proposal would cut that to 26 weeks. Little more than a year ago, major layoffs were unheard of at the Bee.
Today, “Not only has McClatchy abandoned its long held position that it doesn’t lay people off. Now they want to make it cheaper to do it,” said Ed Fletcher, a reporter and officer for The Sacramento Bee Newspaper Guild in a statement to his co-workers."

Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 2:51pm on Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 | The Sacramento Bee's owner, The McClatchy Co., says it will lift a company-wide wage freeze, the Bee reported on December 7, 2009:
"Gary Pruitt, chairman and chief executive, said the freeze will be lifted at different times at each newspaper, depending on the "financial performance and challenges at each individual paper."
The wage freeze, imposed in September 2008, was one of a series of cost-cutting moves the Sacramento-based newspaper chain has taken to cope with a devastating drop in revenue. The Bee, for instance, has trimmed more than one fourth of its work force and cut most workers' pay by 6 percent.
McClatchy is still struggling and Pruitt said 2010 may bring "additional expense cuts." In the third quarter, total revenue fell 23.1 percent from a year earlier. But he said McClatchy is "successfully navigating through these difficult economic times."
