NEWS ITEM: Kansas City STAR's Owner Lays Off Another 1150 People



Who needs reporters?

They can just print "official" police reports on any incident (even though those seem to differ- depending on who was involved- from actual incident transcriptions).

Who needs photographers?
The STAR can rely on (or not) reader photographs of breaking news- like CNN "I" reports.

Why have an editorial staff?
Use us bloggers for editorial comment- we frequently make more sense anyway.

We also wonder- does this mean one morning our late newspaper won't arrive at all?
Imagine- having to rely on the Internet and TV news....
