Abstract

"this just in" piece reporting that the Portland Press Herald has fired reporter Ted Cohen. Cohen says working conditions have deteriorated since Ryan Blethen, son of owner Frank Blethen, was made regional editor only a few months after joining the paper. Jeannine Guttman, executive editor, said that Cohen essentially resigned by demanding to work with another editor. Cohen said that the Portland Newspaper Guild has filed a grievance on his behalf, and that he plans to appeal the decision.
