As a part of the Tribune Co.'s efforts to reduce costs and direct
resources to focus on local coverage, the Daily Press of Newport News,
Virginia will outsource page design, formatting and editing pages to
the company's flagship paper, the Chicago Tribune. This announcement
came to the staff at both the newspapers on Monday, the Tribune
reported.
The transfer of responsibilities from the Daily Press suggests elimination of copy editors and designers, Hampton Roads reported. The newsroom staff will likely be reduced by 15 percent, Digby Solomon, president and chief executive of the Daily Press, told the Tribune.
