Layoffs At Idaho Statesman

This is a little old, but it’s important: the Idaho Statesman laid off seven journalists and two non-newsroom staff members in the latest round of cuts to hit the paper earlier this month, reports the Idaho Business Review. A one-week furlough for the remaining staffers will hit later this year.

In a newsroom of only 50, seven layoffs is a fairly big deal. Two reporters, a designer, a production editor, and three copy-editors (two full-time, one part-time) lost their jobs, as well as an IT employee and a production employee.
