New layoffs at Daily News *

By Kevin Roderick | December 5, 2008 12:05 PM

I'm hearing at least three more newsroom exits today. Not sure where that leaves the Daily News, other than very thin. * Added: Glenn Whipp, film writer and critic for 11 years, confirms he is one of those laid off.

Related: Mark Lacter was on KPCC at 10 a.m. talking with Larry Mantle about the staggering national job loss numbers and what lies ahead for SoCal as this recession careens downward. Mark has a good handle on what's happening and the historical perspective. Online later here.
