# Be glad you know ahead of time
My brother's paper was bought out and closed without notice, replaced by a free Metro edition. Fortunately he was well known around town after 18 years of his name in print as a reporter and editor, and picked up a new job in PR pretty quickly.
I hope there's a package for you in the deal?

# Ta.
There'll be a modest redundancy sum, yeah. Enough for a laptop (typing this on company property - maybe they'll let me keep it) and a phone, and a coupla months' breathing room.
No PR for me, though. 'Tis the devil's own work as far as I'm concerned.
