Not Comics: Cuts at San Diego U-T

I'd recommend this article for anyone wanting a snapshot of the staffing concerns facing metropolitan newspapers right now. Apparently, the San Diego Union-Tribune faces a twelve percent reduction. Like most publications, they'll try voluntary buy-outs first and then move into lay-offs only if necessary. Also note that certain departments are protected, including the on-line and editorial cartoonists elements of the paper, which indicates which parts of the paper the publishers see as vital to future operations. I wouldn't be surprised to see this process taking hold at a majority of papers over the next three years.
