I don't want to see the end of my newspaper and the cuts that are occurring make me fearful about the ability to report the news.

Erica Smith, who writes the blog <A title="Paper Cuts" rel="nofollow" href="http://graphicdesignr.net/papercuts/" target="_blank">Paper Cuts</A>, has the closest thing to a definitive list. She counts more than 11,000 newsroom jobs eliminated so far in 2008.
