VentureBeat » Mercury News laying off about quarter of newsroom?: "By Matt Marshall 06.1.07
mercurynews.jpgThe Mercury News will eliminate sixty more newsroom positions this summer, according to Grade the News.
If true, this is tough news, because the Mercury News has long been considered the voice of Silicon Valley. Many may disagree. However, the Merc has offered a good cross-section of the valley’s business news, from real estate developments, to stock fraud to financial advice about state tax changes and more. It’s easy for us bloggers to chew off a niche and survive, but who is going to do the heavy duty investigative pieces about local labor exploitation, justice system scams, city corruption and environmental scandals that the Merc has done so well over the years? These are stories areas were advertisers don’t easily congregate."
