News-Press: Melissa Evans and Tom Schultz Also Cut; John Zant Probably Next

The Blood Keeps Spilling in News-Press Newsroom

It’s been confirmed as of 10:30 a.m. Tuesday morning:
News-Press reporters Melissa Evans and
Tom Schultz (pictured) were just fired, and the
sports’ department’s senior writer John Zant is
likely next in line. All were given the same reasoning that
reporters
Dawn Hobbs, Barney McManigal, and Rob Kuznia got yesterday:
“disloyalty” to the company for their participation in
last Friday’s banner hanging demonstration over the 101
freeway.
