AAEC Criticizes Tribune Company Cuts

Editor & Publisher reports that the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists has sent a letter protesting the recent Tribune Company cuts at newspaper that seem to favor the dumping of staff cartoonists, which is worth noting because of the AAEC pledge to be more involved in issues like this one and the fact that every argument possible is being formulated for the value of on-staff cartoonists. Columnist Kathleen Parker's piece argues those same merits, and cites figures that staff positions have gone from 200 to 90 in the last 20 years, which is a steeper drop than I thought even at my most pessimistic.
