From this morning's Daily News:

The New York Post's Page Six is terminating all freelance employees in a housecleaning triggered by the payola scandal surrounding the embattled gossip column. ...

Freelance reporters Fernando Gil, Lisa Marsh, Christopher Tennant and Jared Paul Stern are the byline staffers who are being sacked.

I thought the idea was JPS* didn't get a byline. In any event, it's a housecleaning that, like this week's shuffling at the Village Voice, was bound to happen.

* Does this mean we can finally retire JPS's floating head?
