News and Observer reporters only get two slices of pizza tonight

It’s an election night tradition for newspaper editors to order pizza for their staff. We know times are tough for McClatchy, the company that owns the News & Observer. Looks like things are so bad that editors have tried to limit how much pizza reporters can eat tonight.

“Please be polite,” wrote Susan Spring, the News & Observer’s director of newsroom operations. “If you are working elections, you may have up to TWO slices” of pizza. A few hours later, executive editor John Drescher vetoed the limit, but added that “if Susan Spring chases you with a knife in her hand, you are on your own.”
