John Cole Out in Durham



Editor and Publisher is reporting that editorial cartoonist John Cole was among those who lost his job in a round of cutbacks by Paxton Media Group at the Durham Herald-Sun. Cole is a well-respected, I believe left-leaning cartoonist who won this year's John Fischetti Editorial Cartoon Competition, with the entry above.

Despite there being more living astronauts than working newspaper editorial cartoonists, members of the profession remain very much in danger of losing their jobs in today's bottom-line economic climate for print media, and, I believe, much less value placed on their overall contribution.
