Seattle 'P-I' Cartoonist: Paper Will Soon See Last Print Edition
|
David Horsey, editorial cartoonist at the imperiled Seattle Post-Intelligencer, offers his thoughts on the future of the newspaper -- and his employment -- in a new interview at Michael Cavna's "Comic Riffs" blog at The Washington Post's Web site.
Among the revelations: The P-I, he claims, will likely see its final print edition within the next eight days.
Here’s an excerpt:
MICHAEL CAVNA: Given your perch from the inside, David, what do you think will unfold for the P-I in the days ahead, and how will that affect your job?
DAVID HORSEY: I'm in an unusual situation, unlike [cartoonist] Ed Stein, whose job ended [when Denver's Rocky Mountain News closed]. ... The print version of the P-I is probably going to see its final edition in the next [eight] days or less. The Web site is hiring [some]. As for me, in the last few years, I've ... been employed directly by Hearst Newspapers instead of the Seattle P-I.
