Another Editorial Cartoonist Loses Job



Editor & Publisher notes a report in the Boston Herald that indicates Dave Granlund was let go from his longtime position at the MetroWest Daily News. He has been at the paper for 31 years. General financial concerns were cited as the reason. As the E&P article notes, staffed cartoonist position have been reduced by more than half their number from the 1980s, although more recent firings seem to be more in line with general cost-cutting at newspapers than in some sort of change in attitude towards having a full-time cartoonist.
