Tomorrow will be the last day of employment for half of the staff at the Daily Record
in Morristown.

The Gannett layoffs follow in the wake of similar cost-saving moves at other New Jersey dailies, including the state’s largest paper, The (Newark) Star-Ledger, which made a series
of deep cuts in recent years.

Fred Snowflak, who has been the editorial page editor at the Daily Record since 1999, as well a  political columnist, leads the band of scribes who will be without a job next week.

He makes a bittersweet mention of the departures in a blog post today.
