Globe following Herald down dark black hole

To anyone who has asked me over the past month if I had considered applying for a job at the Boston Globe, this report online from my former colleague at the Herald should provide a sufficient answer. Just a month after the Herald decided to cut costs by cutting content, the Globe is following suit, with 17 newsroom jobs about to disappear and most open positions remaining unfilled. We in the media business all saw this bad news coming. It was only a matter of when. When arrived today. At least I have a headstart, right?
