Political junkies lost three Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists this week when the McClatchy chain issued a round of cuts that it blamed on changing reader trends.
They are Jack Ohman of the Sacramento Bee, Kevin Siers of the Charlotte Observer and contributor Joel Pett of the Lexington Herald-Leader.
"This is a difficult decision, as it affects two of our talented colleagues, both Pulitzer Prize-winning opinion cartoonists. Each has provided readers with sharp, artful and insightful commentary that holds officials and institutions accountable. We are grateful for their important contributions to journalism and their commitment to excellence," said the statement from Peter St Onge, McClatchy national opinion editor.
