Missouri Photojournalism Hall of Fame inductee one day, victim of @GatehouseMedia & @Gannett cuts the next. @columbiatribune photog Don Shrubshell covered our town for 24 years.
What a rare honor for journalism to be recognized at such a high level. This is a victory for the profession at a time where its prospects are so bleak. The Nobel Committee couldn't have chosen better laureates—literal heroes who've faced incredible odds in their home countries.
@HT_InSchool I used to make over 20 at the HT. My work at the HT was entered for a Pulitzer in spot news once and I won HSPA photo of the year. Times are sure different now.

Gatehouse purchased my hometown paper in November 2016 and since has chopped the newsroom by two-thirds, cut the sports staff from 4 to 1 and got rid of the Monday paper. Now, they've cut the most decorated writer in the newspaper's history.
Just horrible.
Definitely the thing I miss most about the old Russian state news agency was how they would get rappers in to summarize the news once a week and it was actually awesome https://t.co/sTygMNJtQR

I was laid off this week after 22+ years as a staff photographer at the Herald-Times in Bloomington, Ind. They announced Monday we were sold to GateHouse, and by Wednesday I no longer had a job. I'll be hitting the streets looking for freelance work. I do both video and photos.
I'm thinking about writing a memoir about my 30 plus years in American journalism, which began as me ditching junior high to photograph skateboarders. What would you like to know? #journalism
Some things I kept in my trunk while working for the local newspaper: combat first aid kit with Quick Clot, bicycle helmet, gas mask and extra NATO filters, plastic spoons, canned food, bottled water, toothbrush and toothpaste, change of clothes. -- I usually worked alone.
@stuartpalley@NPPA It was tedious when I entered a few days ago, and the part about adding entries to a cart is odd. It's like they Macgyvered software from some other purpose. However, once I figured out the interface, and had everything in place, it was easy.
