From the Save the Plain Dealer Facebook site:
Friends, An unfortunate consequence of the state of affairs at The Plain Dealer is talented journalists are fleeing. This week, Book Editor Karen Long, Features Editor Debbie Van Tassel and Columbus Bureau Reporter Joe Guillen gave notice. Last month, Columbus Bureau Chief Reggie Fields resigned (The paper is down to one reporter in Columbus). Since Advance Publications began gutting its newsrooms and slashing daily publication in other markets, the Plain Dealer in recent months also saw resignations of Rock Critic John Soeder, Sports Writer Bill Lubinger, Copy Editor/Page Designer Sue Walton and Video Director Dale Omori. That is a load of talent out the door. It follows the loss of dozens of other journalists over the past four years. And more than 50 additional newsroom job cuts are planned this year.
