Brooke Hauser, the editor in chief of The Daily Hampshire Gazette in Northampton, announced over social media Tuesday that she was laid off from her job.
“And. I was just told my job was ‘eliminated,’ Hauser wrote on Twitter. “I love my staff, I love this paper, and I love this community. What a shame.”
Hauser’s announcement was met with an outpour of support over Twitter, with several people commending her for her work as an editor and calling the news of her firing terrible.

Update: Hauser’s departure was one of eight layoffs or voluntary buyouts, according to publisher Michael Moses. Joan Livingston, the editor-in-chief of the Greenfield Reporter, will become editor-in-chief of the company’s Pioneer Valley papers, a newly created position. And in an especially ominous sign, Moses uses the word “rightsize.”
Original item: I’m not sure how a daily newspaper is supposed to continue without its top editor. But Brooke Hauser, editor-in-chief of Northampton’s Daily Hampshire Gazette, tweeted earlier this morning that her job has been eliminated.
