Check out the report from the Washington Post's Guild unit below. The Post apparently wants to create a "community journalist" position. Adding the word "community" to newspaper positions, we suspect, is going to be the new trend, as newspapers try to create new positions outside of union reach.
We suspect we'll be seeing such tactics at the good ol' Baltimore Sun in the very near future. Stay tuned.

Q&A About the Buyout -- A Drop-in Event
Guild Bulletin:
With less than a week to go to make decisions about the Sun's buyout plan, many of you have asked several good questions about how the buyout works and whether taking a buyout is a good choice for you and your family.
What are the tax consequences of taking a lump sum payment? Can I apply for unemployment insurance? If I sign this Waiver and Release, what does that really mean?
The Guild wants to help with some of your legal or financially-related questions. So we've asked a few folks to come set up shop for a couple hours to talk to you about what you want to know.
We'll hold a little seminar on Tuesday, July 8 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at St. Ignatius Church (just up the street from The Sun).
Among those invited are:
The experts can't provide individual financial planning, but will be on hand to answer general questions as best they can. The format will be drop-in style. So stop by whenever you have a moment in your work day that is mutually agreeable between you and your supervisor.
What: Financial Help with Buyout Package
When: Tuesday, July 8 -- anytime from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: St. Ignatius Church
740 N. Calvert St.
Drop in anytime between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. All interested employees, regardless of Guild or non-Guild status, are welcome.
