USA Today Said to Cut as Many as 70 Jobs Ahead of Gannett Split
Posted in: Uncategorized
USA Today, which is being spun off from Gannett Co. along with the rest of the company’s publishing business, fired as many as 70 employees today across all departments, according to a person familiar with the newspaper’s plans.
About half of the jobs were in the newsroom and accounted for about 10% of newsroom staff, said the person, who asked not to be named because the decisions were private.
“USA Today is working to align its staffing levels to meet current market conditions,” Gannett said in an e-mailed statement. “The actions taken today will allow USA Today to reinvest in the business to ensure the continued success of its digital transformation.”
