Gannett to Lay Off 1,400 Newspaper Workers

Newspaper publisher Gannett will cut 1,400 jobs, or 3% of its work force. Staffers were informed of the impending layoffs today.

The majority of firings will occur before next Friday, July 9th. Last year, the publisher decimated its staff of 46,000 employees, cutting 10%.

Gannett is a publicly-traded media holding company, and the largest US newspaper publisher as measured by total daily circulation. Its assets include the national newspaper USA Today and the weekly USA Weekend.
