What points did I miss?

I have the utmost sympathy for them but what is a campaign to save 54 jobs going to do? People are losing their jobs left, right and centre. I'm not sure what makes these 54 so special. If it was a bunch of nurses on a s**t salary doing 12 hr days who were about to be royally screwed then maybe a campaign would be necessary. If they didn't post every story worth reading on their websites, people might start buying the paper again.
