Two more newspapers are making moves to cut staff. At the Boston Globe, 43 members of the editorial and advertising staffs were offered voluntary buyouts, while roughly 10 employees (but
no one in the newsroom) were laid off.
And, at The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press, 155 employees with at least 20 years of experience
were offered early retirement. “We’re expecting less than half to accept," a company exec told Bill Shea at Crain's Detroit Business. "It’s a totally volunteer
program."
