AAJA Concerned About Philadelphia Inquirer Layoffs
SAN FRANCISCO (January 16, 2007) --The Asian American Journalists Association today sent a letter
to Brian Tierney, publisher and CEO of The Philadelphia Inquirer expressing concern about the
disproportionate impact of the paper's announced layoffs on journalists of color.
In the letter, AAJA said that while it understands that economic challenges faced by many in the news
media have led to difficult decisions to lay off newsroom personnel, such decisions should not be made
with total disregard to the importance of diversity.
