The industry-wide job cuts have also affected the Newspaper Guild. In the past year, the newspaper union has lost 2,000 members and about $200,000 in membership income, according to Guild president Bernie Lunzer.
Forbes.com reports the situation has impacted The Guild Reporter. The union’s official newspaper will be cut back from a monthly to a bi-monthly. Lunzer told Forbes.com the deficit may grow in 2009.
