On October 1st and November 9th I contacted Trapper Byrne, the Deputy Metro Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, and we discussed multiple topics. He mentioned that during our conversation that if I had or found any stories that interest me that he would direct me to someone who I can talk to find out more about the story.
One thing that we did discuss was the fact that newspapers are printing less and going onto the internet now and because of that there are a lot of cutbacks happening causing a lot of good journalists being laid off, but he says that a lot of people in the industry are trying to find out a way to get readers to pay to read the Chronicle online even though they don’t know how.
