It was pretty widely reported that the OC Register cut 5% of its workforce last week. I get the Register delivered to my door every morning (along with the LA Times, NY Times and Wall Street Journal).
Rather than call to complain this morning, I thought I’d post something here. Today’s Register contained Yesterday’s Local section. The entire section is yesterday’s paper. And no Arts/Entertainment section, so no comics this morning either. Dammit! And the same Frank Mickadeit column two days in a row is not the same as a new “Rudy Park.”
Rather that cutting staff, how about investing in putting out a great newspaper everyday and not recycling yesterday’s news? I already get recycled Register new with the OC Post/Irvine World News. Spin it how you want over at Grand Ave, but how many times do I need to see the same story edited and laid out differently? How is that going to make me stay on the page?
