Layoffs and cuts at the Chicago Sun Times, paper to have "tiny business section," according to business editor

sfnblog:

The Chicago Sun-Times business editor resigned Thursday, telling his staff he anticipates the paper will be sold in just months, and would rather leave now than be laid off due to staff cuts in the future. Dan Miller, 62, said he will stay with the paper and work on special projects until March.

The newspaper will continue to publish a “very tiny” business section, under the direction of Deputy Business Editor Polly Smith, Miller told Crain's. “There isn't much need for a business section editor when there isn't much of a business section or staff to direct.” Last week, the Sun-Times notified the Chicago Newspaper Guild it plans to cut 32 reporters and other editorial staff.
