The Buffalo News is offering buyouts to 30% of its staff. Some 300 employees are eligible for the buyout package. The western New York State paper is part of Berkshire Hathaway. Across the country, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer was rumored to be for sale, according to an unnamed source quoted by KING-TV in Seattle. It said the Hearst Corp. planned to put the P-I up for sale--and close it if it didn't get any buyers in 30 days. Newspaper executives said they had no knowledge of an impending sale. In the Midwest, the Sun-Times Media Group Inc. plans to fold 12 of its suburban papers, while the Chicago Sun-Times may lay off as many as 15 unionized workers in its suburban newsrooms. Finally, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is laying off 39 employees--14 in the newsroom, and the rest from operations, advertising and finance.
