The consternation over the termination over Jim O'Shea is finally resolving. A number of great pieces are helping to put the problems of the publishing industry into perspective. Here are a few that you may have heard about, or not: David Simon's Washington Post piece, discussing the Baltimore Sun, a Tribune Co. property, that has seen massive job losses appeared in the week before the O'Shea sacking. The Baltimore Sun features prominently in a storyline of the HBO series "The Wire" this season.

What the Washington Post giveth, it can taketh away too, as shown by a thoughtful column replying to Simon by Jack Schaefer in the Slate.com Press Box column, "Simple Simon."

And, here is the mother of all the O'Shea termination pieces, from LA Observed.
