I’m very glad for you.

All the state labor departments will be busy bees, and with all the free time that Journatic has now, they can spend their days in hearing rooms with mediators.

They are challenging all the unemployment claims and hoping to get away with it (I know of at least three personally), and those laid off better have their paperwork ducks in a row, because Journatic will be making up stories about how they were dismissed “for cause”. Keep all the emails and reports saying you were doing a good job, any proof of them screwing you out of money from your final paycheck, etc. One vicious company.

What do you mean? Documentation of what exactly? Emails? Paperwork? Not sure what exactly that means.

SMH. To the Disposed Six: Make sure you have hard copy documentation for everything since the day you started working at Journatic; you definitely will need it.

Also you allude to knowing me, but don’t post under your real name? What am I supposed to think of that?

You ask me to check my facts. If there is anything I have reported here or elsewhere that you know to be false, please let me know. I have no desire to spread misinformation.

I don’t put myself out there as anything other than a journalist trying to report a story. And despite what you say, I am more than happy to talk to people on all sides, so to speak. If Journatic management was willing to talk to me about this transition, strategy, etc., I would be more than happy to listen with an open mind.

I’m not sure what your last statement means. It sounds vaguely like a threat. Is that how I should understand it?

My professional obligations prohibit me from talking about Germatic (oops) or the Tribune.

But my professional standards require I interject. Take this as a message from a friend.

You seem to be putting yourself out there as the place to publish rumors from the disgruntled former staff of a company obviously in a transitional phase. Read the news – its clients are suspending it (I should know). That can’t be good for sales.

Do you have any editorial integrity at all?

Why would anybody who likes the automatic germs actually talk to you? Instead, you promise voice to anyone, truth or not, apparently.

I just hope you know being a journalist is a lot more than ‘creating a beat’ by posting the most outrageous unsubstantiated claims you can garner by invitation.

“I posed it because I’m posting pretty much all info as it comes in.”

Presumably, you mean “posted”; please add another update. I further expect you to remove this comment. Why? Because it calls out bad journalism from the self-anointed-guardian of community news.

There are standards, Anna. Please respect them. Check your facts and be wary of being seen as the place to do harm. Readers don’t respect it and neither do those of us who know you.

Major pubs have large legal budgets to handle non-malicious errors. Seems like the hope amongst the mediagentsia is that the target here may not be around long enough to point fingers.
