Exit of a paper's editorial board

The entire editorial board - except for the cartoonist - have accepted redundancy terms at New Jersey's Star-Ledger. The board (who are responsible for the comment and opinion pages) are among 151 editorial staff, about 45% of the newsroom, leaving the paper. Owned by Advance Publications, the Newark title sells 345,000 a day and 500,000 on Sundays - but it's losing money. (Via FollowTheMedia)
