MIAMI (AP) - The publisher of The Miami Herald says about 175
employees will lose their jobs as the newspaper cuts costs.
In a memo sent Wednesday, David Landsberg said remaining
full-time staff will have their salaries reduced. Those employees
also will get one-week unpaid furloughs, starting in April.
The Herald's executive editor, Anders Gyllenhaal, said in a
separate e-mail the layoffs include 33 full-time and eight
part-time newsrooms positions. He said some remaining staff will
see their hours cut.
Landsberg said other cost-saving measures include eliminating 30
vacant positions and leasing one floor of the Herald's downtown
Miami headquarters. All management bonuses have been cut this year,
too.
The paper's owner, McClatchy Co., ordered the cuts.
