English term

who were bought out or laid off

English to Spanish Social Sciences Journalism
The nonprofit Web site St. Louis Beacon, launched by Margaret Freivogel and a dozen of her colleagues who were bought out or laid off by the venerable St. Louis Post-Dispatch, does in-depth reporting and analysis in targeted “areas of concentration,” including the local economy, politics, race relations, education, health, and the arts.

El sitio web sin fines de lucro St. Louis Beacon, lanzado por Margaret Freivogel y una docena de sus colegas que fueron adquiridos o despedidos por el venerable St. Louis Post-Dispatch, lleva a cabo un reportaje de profundidad y análisis en determinadas "zonas de concentración”, incluyendo la economía local, la política, las relaciones raciales, la educación, la salud, y las artes.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Darío Giménez, Teresa Mozo

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@traductoratra Are you planning to also get a free translation/proof-read of all 17 pages of comments submitted by readers of the blog article?
If so, we have another several hundred question in store :(

Careful with bought out... they key word here is "out". It means that the St. Louis Post-Dispatch let them go by buying whatever was left on their contracts. See here:
an employer may "buy out" an employee's contract by making a single prepayment, so as to have no ongoing obligation to employ the person
