Westchester Journal News to Fire Everyone, Rehire Some

The Journal News, the Westchester, New York newspaper owned by Gannett, has informed all 288 of its news and advertising sales employees that their jobs will be eliminated.

Those affected have until the end of this week to apply for the 218 jobs the paper will keep. Overall, 20 jobs are being cut in ad sales, and 50 in the newsroom.

Last week, the paper laid off 57 workers in production, finance, and IT.

Founded in 1852, The Journal News is a newspaper in New York serving the suburban New York City counties of Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam, a region known as the Lower Hudson Valley.

Only TravelingCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.

We have more jobs than any other job board.
We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
