192 Jobs Cut At San Diego Union-Tribune

The San Diego Union-Tribune announced a massive round of layoffs yesterday, according to the newspaper’s website SignonSanDiego.com:

The move comes three days after Platinum Equity, a Beverly Hills private equity firm, completed its acquisition of the paper from its longtime owner, the Copley Press Inc.

A total of 192 positions will be eliminated, effective July 6, the company said in a statement. Senior managers told the affected employees Thursday in meetings organized by department. The company said employees will receive transition assistance and termination benefits.
