Some personal news today. And it is not good. I was informed yesterday that I am being laid off at @CBSNews. My last official day is tomorrow. Obviously I am greatly disappointed. I have been with CBS News for nearly 25 years. It has been my dream job.
I have loved it and have poured everything I have into it. But sadly the current harsh economic realities at media companies result in something like this. Many of my colleagues have gone through this. I now join them.
So that's the bad news. Now the good news. What a wonderful ride it has been! I have been fortunate to have one of the best jobs in the business - being sent to cover so many major stories around the world.
@sfutterman Steve, I'm so sorry to hear this news! As a former longtime employee of a CBS affiliate, we've loved and appreciated your work from all over the world! I hope this next chapter puts your great talents to use.
