KK is Out

Katherine Kersten gets hit with a Strib buyout, according to David Brauer at MinnPost. Unfortunately, she isn’t the only one, as Nick Coleman and others will be, too:

Management’s buyout memo asked for “up to three” metro columnists and “up to one” editorial cartoonist, which seems a classification limited to Steve Sack.

The buyout roster also includes up to two reporters and/or editorial writers and up to three photographers and/or videographers.

Finally, KK‘s baffling employment comes to a close. Too bad it also means that legitimate journalists will meet the same fate.
