Email sent to Rebecca Rosen-Lum, former religion writer at the Contra Costa Times up north, gets back this little dig:
The Contra Costa Times has cut its coverage of religion and ethics along with nearly 30 other beats. Reach Rebecca Rosen-Lum at xxxxxxx@hotmail.com.
Rosen-Lum was laid off after being active in the Bay Area News Group-East Bay Unit of the Media Workers Guild, which won a union vote up there.
