Miami Herald to cut 175 positions

The Associated Press reports that The Miami Herald will cut about 175 staffers jobs, a number that includes 33 full-time and eight part-time newsroom positions.
Many of the employees that remain after the layoff will face salary reductions, between 5-10 percent. Also, one-week unpaid furloughs will be implemented in April and 30 vacant positions will not be filled.
From the story:

"All of these are difficult decisions, especially when it means saying goodbye to so many of our friends and colleagues," Publisher David Landsberg said. "But we must make these additional cuts to ensure the viability of our newspapers and to adjust to new competitive and economic realities."
