ANOTHER Cartoonist Position Eliminated
Last week Scott Nychay reported that his job as an editorial cartoonist and graphic designer was eliminated by the Northwest Herald in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
Nychay, who was a finalist for the 2006 Fischetti Award, had been with the company nearly eight years.
In addition to the Fischetti nod, Nychay had won four straight first place Illinois Press Association Awards and published two books of his work while at the Herald. He also noted he had raised $50,000 for victims of Hurricane Katrina and tsunami victims with cartoon prints readers purchased.
As to what he was going to do now, Nychay told the Notebook, "As of right now its still too soon. I put everything I had into my career so its going to take some time to clear my head."
