T&G to cut staff by 10
By Matthew L. Brown
While the Boston Globe reported that 24, or 6 percent, of its newsroom will accept a voluntary buyout offer aimed at reducing costs, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette will be making cuts outside the editorial department.
Bruce Gaultney, publisher of the T&G, said that under 10 people employed by the paper will be taking buyouts, but none of those cuts will be on the editorial side of the business. He said the buyouts would be offered in a variety of departments.
While the buyouts are planned, Gaultney said that an official announcement "should be soon."
According to a story by the Boston Globe, the parent company of the two papers - the New York Times Co. - has instituted a broad buyout program aimed at cutting a total of 125 jobs at the Globe and the T&G.
