The Winston-Salem Journal eliminates 12 jobs, including its NASCAR beat writer:

Also, last month, Mike Mulhern covered his last NASCAR race for the Journal, which has ended full-time staff coverage of stock-car racing, eliminating his job. The Journal will use The Associated Press and other sources for NASCAR coverage. Mulhern took over the NASCAR beat in 1974 and during his 35-year career at the paper also covered other beats, including Winston-Salem State and minor-league ice hockey.

Thirty-five years and tossed to the curb like a bag of garbage. That’s the newspaper biz.
