News Roundup!
L
et’s start with the bad:
Though we don’t usually cover newspapers here at Publish Chicago, it’s worth mentioning that the industry just took a huge hit: the Chicago Tribune just laid off 53 employees. Yikes. The Chicago Reader has a full list of everyone who lost their job.
On to the good:
The Chicago Reader’s Bookswap is this coming Wednesday, the 26th, from 6-9 at the Bottom Lounge. You can bring up to fifteen used books for swapping. Whee!
Finally, this Saturday is Poetry Fest at the Public Library. Date: April 25, 2009. Place: Harold Washington Library Center, 400 S. State Street. Time: 10:00-4:30.
