Todayâs layoffs hit the journalists who do the most and get the least credit. The editors, the copy desk, the page designers, the librarian and archivist, the news assistants. My editor led our immigration coverage during Operation Metro Surge and they justâŠlet her go.

Can an article be joyless AND vain AND way, way too long AND just really poorly written? Reader, yes. Can we let people simply have their goddamn fun? Not if this young scold has anything to say about it.
