Cox Newspapers to Shutter D.C. News Bureau

Cox Newspapers announced Tuesday morning its plans to close its Washington, D.C.-based national and international news bureau on April 1, 2009.

This follows Cox’s earlier announcement to offer its newspaper operations in Texas, North Carolina and Colorado for sale.

Cox’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Dayton Daily News will manage their own Washington and international newsgathering via those papers’ D.C. correspondents. Eligible employees of the bureau will be offered severance packages and will keep their jobs through March 31, 2009.
