Gannett Pulls Plug On Tucson Citizen; 60 Employees Await Their Fate; Web Site To Become Opinion-Only

FINAL ISSUE

The Tucson Citizen prints its final issue tomorrow, and staffers there will know by the end of the day whether they will get to keep their jobs on the Web side of things, whether they’ll stay on as transition employees, or whether they’ll get the ax.

News reporters and editors shouldn’t get their hopes up: parent company Gannett Co. will keep the site up but as opinion and entertainment only. No news or sports reporting will remain.
