newspapers in woe

San Francisco Chronicle laid off a quarter of its classified ad workers. This is due to our economic recession. Well, some will blame Craigslist, but I say - if we were in a recovery we would need more people, not less working in classifieds. However, small biz is saying that they are cutting back expenses due to slow sales. Folks, that does not sound to me like things are getting better - no they are getting worse.
