Delano Massey with Lexington Herald-Leader for third time

Well, we're 2 years and 3 months late with this update, but former BJ staffer Delano Massey not only is back with the Lexington (Kentucky) Herald-Leader, but is the metro editor.

BJ Alums blog reported May 13, 2011 that Delano was laid off by the Herald-Leader. Which he was. But . . . 

Let Delano explain:

"I returned to the Herald-Leader a couple of weeks after the layoffs, and have since become metro editor."

University of Akron grad Delano began at the Herald-Leader in the early 2000s and worked his way up from cop reporter to regional editor. He switched to the Beacon Journal, but  was laid off within a year or so. The Herald-Leader was thrilled to get him back. Then he was let go again. 

And, happy to say, rehired a couple of weeks later. That's a lot of turmoil in 11 years for Delano's newspaper career. 

The Plain Dealer exodus isn't the only roily employment for newspapers.
