NEW YORK (AP) - July 1, 2009 Bob Dickey, head of the company's newspaper division, informed
staff of the layoffs in a letter Wednesday. He told employees that
"there have been some promising signs of a recovery, but the
reality is the improvements are not broad-based and the economy
continues to be fragile."
The majority of layoffs will come by July 9, he said.
The move follows a 10 percent cut at Gannett last year, which
left the company with about 41,500 employees.
Gannett publishes USA Today, the largest newspaper by
circulation in the U.S., along with dozens of other newspapers.
