The Register In Trouble?

from the uh-oh dept

Ah, right after we post a nice little story about an amusing contest from the Register we find out that they're laying a bunch of their team off. It's a small group already, so losing four editors is a bit of a hit - but they hope it (along with their constantly promoted new pay-per-view streaming video show, Salmon Days) will let them stick around for a bit longer. As for those four who lost their job, maybe they should trek on over to The Inquirer, founded by former The Register-ite, Michael Magee (which looks more and more Register like each day...).

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
