Part of a new series, in which we look at the day’s Arizona Daily Star and see how many articles are written by Arizona Daily Star staffers following the massive layoffs last week:
Section A: 5, not counting editorials, briefs, notes, an unsigned retrospective piece and a chart, but including a “For the Arizona Daily Star”; zero Star bylines in the second A section from A11 to A16.
Sports Extra: 2 from Bruce Pascoe, one of which is the Arizona at 100 feature.
This article appears in Jul 21-27, 2011.
Some of the reporters laid off last week were among the Star’s most prolific writers. Sarah Trotto consistently was in the top 10 in bylines each year since she was hired in 2006, while Shelley Shelton pretty much made sure the Northwest section had bylined stories.
Suggest you add total articles to give an idea of percentages.
