Morning Call Update

Monday, 19 October 2009 13:02 by Betty Cauler

Just heard a few more rumors and updates for The Morning Call: plans to print the Easton-Express Times at TMC's 6th Street location fell through, and as a result, more layoffs are rumored for November, primarily in the pressroom. Plans to move pre-print operations to the Baltimore Sun have also fallen through. Press workers have managed so far to stave off layoffs, thanks to union negotiations, but it looks like that may soon change.

On the editorial front, the  Photo Department has been moved out of their private digs and into the near-deserted newsroom. Apparently, the reasoning was to make the newsroom look more full and to use "the cheeriness of photo to boost morale." To which a TMC staffer replied "Bullshit!" and explained that Publisher Tim Kennedy, who is moving into Ardith Hilliard's old office, wanted to use the photo lab to house his "BIG conference room table."
