Jason Whitlock survives Star cuts — and then some

By JEN CHEN

It’s been a sad week for print journalism. Even though some of us here at The Pitch often take issue with the Star, we can’t help feeling bad for the 120 people who got laid off on Monday.

Today, Aaron Barnhart posted this tribute to his fired colleague Paul Horsley. Barnhart writes: “I can say this without hesitation — no one at the Kansas City Star worked harder, produced more copy, endured nuttier hours or flexed more intellectual muscle than Paul Horsley. Losing him just sucks.” Barnhart also set up this blog so that people can say goodbye to their favorite Star employees.
