Staunton VA ‘News Leader’ Cuts Jobs

The Staunton, Virginia News Leader, a Gannett newspaper, cut five employees this week, part of the parent company’s plant to eliminate 1,400 jobs.

In December 2008, the News Leader laid off 10 employees and eliminated 5 vacant positions. In March, it outsourced its printing, eliminating 23 jobs. The paper has also implemented two one-week unpaid furloughs.

The News Leader now employs 50 people.

The News Leader is a daily newspaper owned by Gannett Company, serving Staunton, Virginia and the surrounding areas. The paper was founded in 1904 by Brigadier General Hierome L. Opie as The Evening Leader.
