Gary Piña, a news editor/page designer at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, is among the hundreds of McClatchy employees laid off today.
He has been with the Star-Telegram for over 20 years.
Gary is currently nearing the end of his second term on the NAHJ board. At the moment, he is the At-large-officer.
He was a key player in the success of the 2005 NAHJ convention. He had recently expressed interest in running for president of the Dallas-Fort Worth Network of Hispanic Communicators.
How can they do that to him?!? These papers are forgetting how devoted some are to them. This isn’t acceptable by any means.
