The Daily Universe Editor’s note: Reporter Emily Andersen is a journalism student at BYU with a personal and professional interest in the world of journalism and freedom of the press. Jody Genessy had been working for the Deseret News for 26 years. He got the job when he was still in college and had hoped to spend his entire career there. Genessy said over the years people have asked him why he didn’t try to move on to bigger news organizations, but Genessy said he loves Utah, and he loves the Deseret News. That’s why it came as such a shock when, on Oct. 26, he was laid off along with six other journalists.
