Yep, Gannett is laying off a ton of people again. This from MarketWatch:
Gannett Co Inc (GCI.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the largest U.S. newspaper publisher, is planning to cut about 10 percent of jobs at its local papers as it fights advertising declines made worse by the global financial crisis.
It is the second round of layoffs that Gannett has planned in the past two months. In August, Gannett said it would eliminate 1,000 newspaper jobs, with 600 being laid off.
The latest round will be all layoffs, according to a memo sent to staff by Newspaper Division President Robert Dickey on Tuesday.
This includes my place of employment as well, the Springfield News-Leader. Don’t ask me who’s being laid off because I don’t know and I don’t think it would be very Christian or becoming of me to provide “insider” info on this blog.
All I ask is that you please pray for us. All of us. Thanks.
