Fired by AP in Australia in '78 - another Substack.

[Carl Robinson]

OK, folks, and this completes my years with AP from after Tet '68 in Saigon through the Fall of Saigon, two years in NY, and then Sydney, Australia until May of 1978.   I know this is kinda' off-topic, but just what happened to me and has been brought up in all sorts of nefarious ways before & after the napalm girl documentary came out and something for the record. 

As so often happens with these sort of things, especially working in the media, it was more in the way my termination was done and, as even the AP now admit, never given a proper explanation.  So, call it the manner of things.  But then, it is a cut-throat business, isn't it, and quite frankly glad I finally got out, but another 10 years later after Newsweek, and another poorly-handled termination.   Oh, well. Just the business, eh?!
