Laid Off (Again), SoCal Daily Newspaper Vet Has Had Enough Oct 26th 2012, 09:00 David Ogul (pictured) is not entirely quitting the newspaper business. But as he explains in his inaugural monthly column for San Diego’s Mission Times Courier, he’s no longer going to try and make a go of it in a newsroom full-time. Ogul was laid off from the San Diego Union-Tribune in June 2011, and then again from the North County Times just a few weeks ago after the acquisition of that regional paper by U-T San Diego. In other words, he’s essentially been sent packing twice in two years by the same company. A far cry from the center where his beloved industry once resided: I've seen a lot in my 32 years as a writer and editor working for numerous daily newspapers in Southern California, including an 11-year stint as an editor for The San Diego Union-Tribune. But it's time to call it quits. Time to move on. Time to come to grips with the fact I don't like what is happening to journalism today. continued… New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.
