Yesterday, McClatchy laid off more than 90 unionized media workers across 17 publications. The departure of these talented reporters, visual journalists & writers will immediately leave gaping holes in local coverage for dozens of communities across the US.

The good people at the Inquirer wrote a nice big fat piece about the very normal story of an eyepatch-wearing pornographer/drug dealer/erotic artist, his drug dealer son, a number of vanished women, and some possibly autobiographical self-published serial killer novels.
Spent weeks looking into R.C. and Eugene Horsch, and their connection to the Philly missing women case in Olney We don’t know exactly what happened. But I think we can at least explain how all of these people - and police - converged in a mysterious house inquirer.com/news/a/raymond-…

A criminal artist with a troubled son lived a stranger-than-fiction life — creating aliases, fake cash, a chemical company in New Zealand, an oeuvre of violent porn, and novels about serial killers who prayed on the addicted. Then two women went missing. inquirer.com/news/a/raymond-…

Last year, The Philadelphia Inquirer saw its first revenue increase in decades. We're thrilled about the turnaround. But our members are now fighting for a fair 3-year contract — and it's time to invest in the workers. Sign our petition! phillynewsguild.com/

BREAKING: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will shut down. It's last issue will be May 3. This comes after years of turmoil in the newsroom, and striking workers returning to work after 3-years on the picket line, though many strikebreakers worked throughout.

Proud of the work we've done. Proud of what this place has meant and the people I/we have gotten to follow to try our best to uphold the tradition. Don't care about your religion, politics or level of Pirates anger. This sucks: post-gazette.com/local/city/…
