Baltimore Sun cuts 100 jobs

The Baltimore Sun today eliminated about 100 jobs – 55 of them from the newsroom, most of which accepted buyouts.

The 171-year-old newspaper is owned by the Tribune Co., which has been making major cuts in its properties around the country, most notably at the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times.

Besides reducing staff, The Sun and other Tribune papers are planning an aggressive redesign of their publications.
