@ Kasz - you are correct. I have had an awesome opportunity - when I started in the biz, I wanted to work in the major leagues - one of the top 10 papers in the country. I not only accomplished that goal, but I am doing video game reviews for the paper, started a small biz and have earned mad respect with developers, PR firms and the like. However, I fully understand ethics and how a journalist could be tempted to spin it but being blackballed in this biz is no joke. (Google Jason Blair)
I can tell you this - I have seen folks piss on other folks in this biz and regret it soon enough. As influential and massive as this biz is, it's really a small biz. At every paper I have worked at, I've met other folks who know people I worked with or worked at papers I have worked at. You are bound to meet folks who will know someone who knows you.
Burn bridges at a paper and folks in the biz will soon find out.
OT: You'll see another round of stories when Sony actually starts trimming jobs.
