Another Cartoonist Leaves Staff Position?

This time it's Tom Meyer, according to a report in the Sacramento Business Journal based on partial publication of a list on a local blog, that's accepting a buyout from the San Francisco Chronicle. If true, and I have yet to see word directly from Meyer, he'd be leaving along with some of that paper's bigger names reputation-wise. His feature is/was called "Meyer's Take."

The New York Times gets into the Chronicle's unique situation a bit: it's not a typical newspaper in terms of content, approach or market share, and never has been. It also offer what's going to become a very important issue over the next 24 months: a working, popular web site that generates very little morning, giving another example for the rising number of voices that believe that the key issue isn't the loss of print but the specific advertising engine that print had come to represent.
