Voice Redesign Has Edit Staff Grumbling
"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.)
