The Sacramento, California-based company is suspending executives’ bonuses as part of a wider $300 million savings initiative. CEO Gary Pruitt is taking a 15% cut in base salary, and won’t receive a bonus for 2008 or 2009. Other executive salaries have been cut 10%.
Each newspaper in the company will decide which areas to cut, but will try to retain jobs in sales, news and online operations.
