The Journal News cuts 12 jobs amid ad slowdown

August

The Journal News cut 12 jobs today citing further erosion in ad revenue from retail, housing, automotive and employment sectors of the economy.

The cuts were part of a larger plan by the newspaperâ€™s parent company, Gannett Co. Inc., to eliminate 1,000 jobs across the companyâ€™s 84 news properties in its Community Publishing division, which includes The Journal News and LoHud.com.

The number of positions eliminated at each newspaper was determined locally, McLean, Va.-based Gannett said.
