Where were you in '62?
Who is leaving
Natalie Pompilio, who worked for the Daily News for two years as a general assignment reporter, confirmed via email that she was laid off, effective at the end of the month. "Obviously, I'm devastated. I'm going to miss the newsroom," she said. She'd like to stay in journalism: "We'll see what happens next," she told Steve Myers by email.
Photojournalist Sarah Glover decided to take the buyout rather than being laid off. Glover, president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists, said in a note to Facebook friends that she is "concerned that by the end of the staff reduction process at PMN this week that the newsrooms will take another step back to looking like 1962 rather than more like what a newsroom should look like in 2012."
