I’m writing today to express my disappointment in the recent layoffs of Daily Herald employees that will cut the newsroom staff in half.
The Herald is the only professionally written and edited news source in the city of Everett. While readership of paper news sources has declined steadily in recent decades, our community continues to rely on the reporting of the Herald staff through digital media.
In order for our community to receive up-to-date news and information about what’s happening in our community we require a robust reporting staff. Reducing the number of journalists will undoubtedly result in a less professional product, which I can imagine will result in even fewer subscriptions.
As a paying subscriber to your newspaper, I ask that you reconsider the layoffs of these essential employees.
