Perhaps they hired based on skill and experience rather than some kind of diversity check box. There's also the fact that they were probably a Union shop. So even if they did hire more minorities and women, it's quite likely that they've been cutting back for some time. Union rules, last hired, first fired.

First, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest the armpits of the Sun-Times 
management.

Second: ONE woman and ONE African-American (and no other apparent minorities) 
in a staff of 23 in a city as diverse as Chicago?  It indicates that the 
Sun-Times management has been lousy for a long time.

Subject: CNN does Portraits of Chicago Sun Times Photogs

Hi Everyone:

As I posted earlier, the Chicago Sun Times newspaper has fired its entire 
photography staff.  CNN has done a gallery of portraits of each of the 
photographers.  Bio information is included under each photo.  It's a nice 
gallery on a very sad story.  Just thought you might be interested

Cheers, Christine
