Baton Rouge Advocate reacts to Times-Picayune news
Baton Rouge Advocate publisher David Manship tells his staff that “like you, I was shocked to hear the news” about the Newhouse-owned papers cutting staff and going to a three days a week publishing schedule.
“Our long-term goal is to continue to print and deliver this award-winning newspaper seven days a week, as well as continue to improve our online presence,” he writes. “We will look for ways to increase our presence in the New Orleans area and be ready to take advantage of any opportunities that might come along.”
