I work in news biz and I'm doing all right. But we invented our own niche 20 years ago and nobody's willing to work hard enough to threaten our place. Our "recession" was last fall, when some of our subscribers dropped us for a month and then realized they could not do without us, so they got us back. Everything's OK now.

And no, I never would have greenlit that story. Obviously, somebody was trying to look busy for the boss... recursive, isn't it?
