Something’s happening to Gen X communications people
A dear friend, copy editor for USA Today and AARP was let go and returned home to El Paso. We’re four days apart in age. Another compadre, and editor-in-chief of a Texas newspaper and his wife, also a writer and dear friend, are contemplating moving back to EP. One of my oldest friends here in El Paso is looking for a change. I’m uncertain of what my next move is, too. What I can tell you is that Gen X was the generation that had the promise of communications and journalism ripped out from under them scant years after their college graduation. We were not a generation to get masters degrees. We were in the trenches creating some of the most groundbreaking journalism and advertising work ever.
