Portraits of some discarded journalists

Waves of layoffs and buyouts have swept through journalism generally and newspapers in particular over the past decade. Dale Maharidge tells some of the victims' stories and mourns the loss: "Like the story of Willy Loman, cast aside in his creeping middle age, the tale of today’s discarded journalists is, at its core, a parable of the way our economy, our whole American way of being, sucks people dry and throws them away as their cultural and economic currency wanes."
