More than 80 Chron union workers have applied for a buyout, and guild rep Carl T. Hall -- who took the offer as well -- figures that number may jump to 100 or even 150 by the end of the month.
A list of some of the editorial-side employees who took management's buyout offer was released by local author Frances Dinkelspiel -- one of the paper's blogger luminaries, by the way. While the Media Workers Guild refused to confirm the names on the list, it appears many of the familiar bylines have slipped off the page (though Rubin notes that a number of departed staffers hope to still freelance for the paper).
Some of the folks heading out the door:
- The aforementioned Rubin and Hall, a longtime science writer;
- Music writer Joel Selvin;
- Washington, D.C. reporter Zachary Coile;
- Sportswriters Nancy Gay and Michelle Smith;
- Culture writers Jesse Hamlin, Edward Guthmann, and Heidi Benson;
- Photographers Mark Costatini, Kim Komenich, Craig Lee, Eric Luse, Michael Maloney, and Kurt Rogers;
- Simar Khanna, home and garden editor (and, keep in mind, Laura Thomas, the assistant home and garden editor already told SF Weekly she was going. It appears the Chron's new M.O. is to publish a Homeless and Gardenless section).
