Seattle Times to cut 200

April 8, 2008 by Veronica Villafañe

Citing a loss in revenue and the need to reduce expenses, Seattle Times publisher Frank Blethen told employees aproximately 200 positions will be eliminated at the paper.

In a memo to staff, he says: “We had hoped the expense reductions made at the beginning of the year would prevent the need for further downsizing, but that is not the case.” He also notes there will be a $15 million dollar cut in the budget, to be implemented over the next two months.

Crosscut.com points out the cuts translate to about 49 newsroom positions – 30 layoffs and 19 unfilled jobs staying that way.
