Bee announces more cutbacks
Sac Bee ^ | 1/12/10 | Dale Kasler

Posted on 01/12/2010 7:45:20 PM PST by NormsRevenge

The Bee announced another round of staff cutbacks today due to what its publisher called "a prolonged period of revenue declines."

The paper said 25 jobs will be eliminated as of Jan. 29, and the paper hopes almost all of the cuts can be achieved through voluntary buyouts within specific departments. If the paper can't get enough workers to agree to buyouts, then it will resort to layoffs to reach the goal.

The cutbacks are the fourth and smallest to hit the newspaper in the last 18 months, and the first since last March. They will affect 2.7 percent of The Bee's workforce.

My first above the table job was delivering papers for The Bee. Good experience, but I sure wouldn’t want to repeat it.

I couldn't agree more. Every news article and most editorials are shameless communist rants. Any and every pro homosexual, anti military, anti Christian, pro global warming, non traditional values, pro socialist agenda, pro union thuggery, big government, more taxes screed that can be splashed across this rag's face is done so with relish.

I have not bought this trash in years.

Classified advertising is dead. Even the Shopper’s Weekly, Little Nickel type freeby papers are down to a few pages of ads for puppy mills and exotic pets. Everything else is on Craigslist.

It seams odd, we all know the end is no adds. Why should I place an add in your paper? You are already running adds in your print shop and mailing them to all households.
