There's a new twitter site that's tracking who's being laid off in the media.

How sad is it that there are enough layoffs to sustain a whole twitter feed?
Also, I meant to mention this the other day when I first heard it, but kudos to NPR for actually doing a story on its own layoffs...

In contrast, I thought it a little odd that NBC, on a day when they practically led Nightly with news of mass layoffs, there was nary a mention of their own layoffs going on that day. 500 jobs/3% of workforce not worth reporting when you're detailing other companies financial woes? Weak.
In the interest of self-disclosure, I've read on some of the media websites about possible layoffs coming at Fox O&O's.
Frightening times.
Welcome to the PIT List!
I'm a network field producer who also worked in local tv as a line producer and field producer. Over the years, I have had the great fortune to work with super people. Now I'd like to pass along what I know and rant a tad.

I check it sporadically, but I love answering emails, so if you have an issue or difficult person you need help with, don't hesitate to shoot it my way.
