The Tennessean's turmoil

The Nashville Scene has a story today about staffers that have recently left The Tennessean, a Gannett-owned paper.
The story says last week one of the paper's best reporters Sheila Wissner walked out of the newsroom in the middle of writing a story.
Wissner worked at The Tennessean for 20 years, mostly as an investigative reporter. But as the paper put less of a focus on investigative work, she was moved to the state politics beat. After asking to return to her beat and not getting an answer, Wissner picked up her coat and left for good, according to the report.
Her departure is the latest in a string of reporters and editors to leave the paper in the last few weeks, inlcuding cops and courts reporter Sheila Burke, state political reporter Jessica Fender, city editor Ricky Young, assistant business editor Todd Pack and lifestyles writer Hollie Deese.
The story points out that not all staffers left because they were unhappy with their jobs.
