Reacting to Neil Henry

June 5, 2007 - 10:09am — yelvington

Jay Rosen's Twilight of the Curmudgeon Class deserves linkage just for the delightful title, but also for his synthesis of viewpoints and reactions to Neil Henry's recent "you kids get off my lawn" op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle.

See also CJR's A Long View of Layoffs, which puts recent contractions in perspective.
