It’s tough these days in the media world, with all the layoffs, buyouts and shuttered publications. So to survey the damage, American Journalism Review went right to the place where many job seekers land, JournalismJobs.com, and put up an ad: "Laid off, bought out?"

Have you been forced out of a daily newspaper job in the last ten years? Were you laid off, bought out, forced into early retirement or in some other way made to leave under circumstances that were other than totally voluntary? American Journalism Review is doing a survey to find out what people in your situation are doing now and how they were treated as they were shown the door. Please go to www.ajr.org and click on the link to the survey. And tell your friends.
