I’m an editor at Gannett. I manage 4 reporters and lead the investigative and data work at the Asbury Park Press in NJ.

This week, I’m on mandatory furlough.

I appreciate the time with my family, but it is a truly horrid time of year to take away a portion of anyone’s salary.

I make $70K a year. I’m grateful for it. But I’m a single dad with two kids. It hurts.

The employees of this company deserve better. At the very least, they deserve to be paid what the company agreed to pay them.

@stefpac that’s very sweet! No need to help.

I’m one of scores in this position. I just think attention should be called to it, just like journalists do with any other industry.

We don’t get anywhere without honest discussion.
