What do you guys think of this? My friend and former boss Stan Melton lost his job in this mess. Sad. The even scarier part comes in the second paragraph.
DC station swings the Budget axe
Sources say that WJLA in DC has swung the budget axe. Word is that the station eliminated 5 positions from their promo/graphics department on Thursday, two from promotions (Larry Lane and Dominique Verdieu), two from graphics (Mike Batista and Isam Daho) and the Director of Creative Services (Stan Melton).
News Director Bill Lord will now run the much smaller department, with the promo manager and art director reporting to him. They also do promos and graphics for Newschannel 8, and some stuff for Politico, so what was already a very busy department is gonna be even more overburdened.
