Journal kills zoned editions, bureaus
Somewhere, Sevellon Brown is weeping. A memo distributed to Journal employees:
October 10, 2008
TO ALL EMPLOYEES:
Today, we published our final regional zone sections (North, Metro, West Bay, East Bay & Massachusetts and South County). Starting Tuesday, October 14th, we will publish one comprehensive newspaper with all the local, state, regional, national and international news.
A notice on the front of today’s zones informed readers of this change. We also will print a reminder on page one next Tuesday. Should you get customerinquiries regarding the change, please refer the calls to a customer service voice mailbox at extension 7364.
As a final note, we will close our South County and East Bay offices and move the employees to Fountain Street.
