The Fresno Bee will lose 40 workers in the McClatchy expense-cutting effort, publisher Ray Steele Jr. announced in a letter to employees Tuesday. Of those, 35 -- including 11 in the newsroom -- accepted buyouts. Five -- including one in the newsroom -- were laid off.
The 9% staff cut, following the layoff of 44 workers in June, leaves The Fresno Bee with about 520 employees. The Fresno Bee also plans to cut about 10 more jobs next year by outsourcing some financial operations, Steele told employees.

The Fresno Bee laid off it's last photographic color separation expert. Expert the costly color pages to look like mud blended with red ink.
