Just got word from my brother that he's on his way out. I'm leaving lots of details out, but what's not mentioned in this NYTimes article is that while 40% of the newsroom staff is gone, 8 of the 10 full time photographers were let go, including my brother who had 19 years, one East Coast Photographer of the Year and 3 or 4 NJ Photographer of the Year awards. Not that they all didn't see it coming - it's a dead industry and he's likely better off out than dealing with what's left.
