More changes at Sun-Times
The news just keeps on coming from the Sun-Times Media Group.
In addition to layoffs throughout its publications, which include the Chicago Sun-Times, the company announced it will shut down three weekly newspapers that focus on Chicago North Side neighborhoods.
The Skyline, the Booster and News-Star will cease publication on January 30th, according to reports in the Chicago Tribune.
The decision means even more job cuts, part of a plan to cut operating costs by $50 million this year. The Tribune reports that up to 35 layoffs are still expected at the Chicago Sun Times.
Employees at the newspaper had begun to be notified of the layoffs by phone on Wednesday night.
