Gannett, the McLean-based newspaper giant and publisher of USA Today, plans to cut 1,000 jobs, or about 3 percent of its workforce, according to a company memo.
Like most newspaper companies, Gannett is struggling with declining advertising and circulation and is trying to cut costs. Layoffs will account for about 600 of the positions targeted for elimination, the memo says, and should be completed by the end of this month. The rest will come from attrition. (Washington Post)
