US: Tribune Co. to cut 500 jobs
Posted by Jean Yves Chainon on February 14, 2008 at 10:01 AM
Tribune Co. is to cut 500 jobs, about 2% of its nationwide workforce. 100 to 150 layoffs will affect the Los Angeles Times.
About 40-50 of these will be editorial jobs in the newsroom and the cuts will take place "through a combination of attrition, voluntary buyouts and, if necessary, layoffs," said publisher David Hiller in an interview with the Times.
"The job cuts are focused on the corporate staff and the company's nine newspapers, including, besides The Times, the Chicago Tribune, Newsday in New York, the Orlando Sentinel, the Baltimore Sun and the Hartford Courant,” reported the paper.
Apparently the job cuts won’t affect Tribune’s broadcast division.
