Kansas City Star to lay off 50 more

The Associated Press reports that employees at the The Kansas City Star are going through yet another round of layoffs.
This time, 50 employees will be laid during a period that's described by the newspaper's publisher, Mark Zieman, as "one of the most challenging years in Star history."
From the story:
The layoffs affect workers in several departments, including news, advertising and circulation. Zieman's memo said employees will receive severance pay, continuation of benefits and outplacement services.The newspaper cut 120 positions in June as part of 1,400 jobs being eliminated by The Star's parent, The McClatchy Co. In September, 65 workers either accepted buyouts or were laid off.
