Strib Targets Copy Editors And Photogs In New Round Of Buyouts
The Star Tribune announced another round of buyouts Wednesday, which will spare reporters and target copy editors and photographers, David Brauer at MinnPost reports. Up to 18 positions doing copy editing functions—though not all of them were officially, solely copy editors, Brauer says—could be cut, while there are no buyout slots for reporters or editors.
The Star Tribune hopes to replace these positions with—in part—”mandated spellcheck for reporters” as well as having non-copy-editors (like other reporters or a designer) look over stories to make up for the copy-editor’s eyes.
