Rumor that the Kansas City Star is going to shut down some of its southern suburban properties??? Haven't heard any specifics but some of the possibilities are the Olathe News, the Belton paper, etc. Anyone else heard anything about this?

The "rumor" is that the bureaus will be relocated downtown.

Each location would be closed as far as a physical footprint, but supposedly will still exist, just downtown.

The Charlotte Observer is expecting to get cuts this week. The same 2.5%, 5% and 10% routine that we have seen elsewhere.

Expect 75 to 100 layoffs.

The HQ building is half empty. It will likely be placed officially for sale.

biloxi sunherald laying off people on 3-16-09--no word on pay cuts as of yet.

Any details on Charlotte and WHO they will eliminate? Most likely it will be from credit and accounting, since I've heard they had to train their Indian replacements. But that'd only account for a small part of that number. That building is like a "ghost town" already.

Anybody heard any news or rumors regarding the Idaho Statesman in Boise?

I work for the Charlotte Observer and am amazed at how top heavy the management continues to be there, even after several rounds of layoffs.

Unfreakingbelievable.
