Akron Beacon Journal lays off 40; Chip Bok not one of them

by Alan Gardner August 23, 2006

The Akron Beacon Journal has announced that it will cut 25% of its staff – approximately 40 people to “align costs with revenues.”  Chip Bok, their editorial cartoonist, says he’s not one of them, but two other artists will be losing their jobs.  One such artist is Rick Steinhauser who has expressed interest in inking cartoons. If you’re aware of any opportunities contact Chip through his blog.
