Teresa Puente is the latest laid-off casualty at the Chicago Sun Times. She had been on the editorial board since October of 2007.
Teresa, who is a Chicago native, previously worked for the Chicago Tribune. She is currently a member of the journalism faculty at Columbia College in Chicago.
She told NAHJ board member Brandon Benavides that she was concerned about the lack of diversity on the editorial board after she and one other person of color were laid off today.
