Bloomberg Axe Falls At Business Week, Jon Fine Out

by Glynnis MacNicol | 3:34 pm, November 19th, 2009

businessWeek_logo Bloomberg, which acquired Business Week last month, announced this week that they were looking to layoff 100 positions or 25% of its staff. Judging from Twitter it looks like the layoffs took place today (h/t FishbowlNY).

Included in the list of those leaving in addition to BW editor Stephen Adler, are community manager Shirley Brady, technology writer Stephen Baker, department editor Lauren Young, and staff writer Amy Choi. Also not returning is media columnist Jon Fine (side note: Fine is married to my former employer Laurel Touby), who twittered the news earlier today.

At yesterday's White House briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, noting the fine weather, suggested moving the briefing outdoors. The remark got an enthusiastic response from the press corps, and Gibbs said he'd work on it. To his credit, he works awfully fast. The White House has just announced that Gibbs will be holding tomorrow's briefing, the first since his promise, in the Rose Garden.

If only all the White House's promises could be fulfilled so quickly.
