Editor on the way out? -- Onion-Skinned Blind Item # 3

This rumor, if true, can only be good for this poor daily, and Cebu journalism, as a whole.

This editor, it is said, is on the way out. "Won't last a week," well-placed sources say. The owners, apparently, have had enough of this editor's work habits, which have caused pages to close later and later in the evening, and the paper coming out later and later the next day.

Apparently, too, the owners have had enough of this editor's petty biases and deep-seated prejudices against specific personalities, which spill onto the news pages, when they shouldn't.

We hear this editor is being "kicked up". Will this move on the part of the owners stem the seemingly irreversible tide of increasingly neglible circulation numbers and the exodus of personnel?

I've always believed this editor was overrated. I guess the ratings have finally caught up with this editor.

Goodbye, Editor. And to the news outfit: good decision. The best piece of news ever to come out of your paper.
