Three Fingers Slip From the Ledge
I recently did a post about the news business. Today The Atlanta Journal-Constitution announced that 30% of its news staff would accept buy-outs or be laid off.
In 2006, the AJC had about 500 news people. It currently has 323. The cuts will leave it with about 230 people. Keep in mind that news staff doesn’t equate with reporters and editors. The article said there will be further “restructuring” of the news staff.
No one wrote the article, it was a "Staff Report.”

This would be on top of the large round of buyouts they did late last year. It sure seems like a death spiral. Cuts lead to lower circulation, which lead to more cuts. I hate to see it, but it looks like they are circling the drain.
Looks like it isn't just the AJC.
