Sac Bee offers buyouts

The Sacramento Bee announced it will offer voluntary buyouts to a limited number of employees. The paper's executives said they expect less than 2 percent of their 1,400 employees would be approved for the buyouts.
Buyouts will be approved primarily in the newspaper's support areas, including finance, human resources, production and parts of circulation.
The reduction comes as The Bee increases its focus on online and niche products.
"In order to support these efforts we must look for ways to operate more efficiently," Bee Publisher Janis Heaphy said in a statement.
