Editor's note: Yesterday, the TImes-Picayune announced substantial layoffs, among them long-time food critic Brett Anderson
Follow up note: On Friday, June 15th, the Times Picayune announced that they would welcome Brett Anderson's return subsequent to his Nieman fellowship.
He and She Said:
Brett,
We’re somewhat unsurprised, but nevertheless saddened to hear you’re leaving us.
No economists, we do not pretend to offer any educated opinions on the financial wisdom or lack thereof of recent decisions affecting the Times Picayune.
New Orleanians write a farewell letter to Brett Anderson, the Times-Picayune's fantastic food critic who was laid off in the Newhouse massacre of our local papers yesterday. New Orleans without a food critic is like New York without Wall Street coverage.
