Gannett cuts hit Cincy, Louisville and Phoenix

After announcing that 1400 Gannett employees would lose their jobs this week, the shake out is starting to take shape.

According to an Editor & Publisher report, Enquirer Media in Cincinnati, which includes The Cincinnati Enquirer and other publications, eliminated 101 positions this week. Included in the cuts were editorial page editor David Wells, columnist Peter Bronson, and the entire staff of its arts-and-entertainment tabloid CinWeekly.

The outlook was dim for Phoenix Wednesday as well, as confirmation of nearly two dozen staffers losing their jobs at The Arizona Republic came in.
According to the Phoenix Business Journal, designers, feature writers, copy editors, and business and community reporters were among the latest newsroom staffers cut, which was said to total to 20.
The publisher of Louisville-based, The Courier-Journal says the newspaper has eliminated 44 jobs, or 7 percent of its work force. The layoffs were the second round at The Courier-Journal and Gannett since late last year.
