"It's a newsroom in a lot of upheaval and
unhappiness," Senior Editor Brian Parks
tells Sridhar Pappu, who reports that the "rejiggering
has only worsened an already troubled relationship
between the staff and management." The complaints
come from writers who have less space to write
in and who felt left out of the redesign process.
Voice Editor Don Forst says
morale at the paper is fine and calls the
implementation of the redesign "perfect." Pappu also
reports that the Voice "had a pretax profit
margin of
27.2 percent, according to an internal
management
source." (Second item.)
