FIRED BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH HITS ??

Dave Jansen of Good Gear Guide and P C World, both owned by IDG, said he was fired this month because his articles weren't getting enough web site hits. This seems to be the nail in the coffin for journalism.

Publishers in the past relied on circulation figures, but now with the web,they can see instantly how many people are reading the article. Journalists who are dismissed for not generating enough hits could sue for unfair dismissal if the company has 100 employees.
