Gannett cutting 1,400 more

Gannett’s next round of layoffs will affect some 1,400 staffers across 80 newspapers and is expected to be complete by July 9, according to a memo sent to employees from Community Publishing Division President Bob Dickey on July 1.
The cuts in the division, which does not include USA Today, account for more than 3 percent of Gannett’s workforce.
“We must take these steps because the advertising environment remains challenged,” Dickey told employees in the memo.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is among the papers bracing for the most significant cuts, with some 100 layoffs expected, according to a memo sent to employees from Publisher Margaret Buchanan last week.
This is Gannett’s third significant round of layoffs. The publisher’s previous round of cuts eliminated 3,000 positions.
