Chicago Trib to eliminate 20% of newsroom staff

Crain's "Chicago Business" reports that the Chicago Tribune will reduce its newsroom staff by another 20 percent. The move is part of an ongoing effort to cut costs at the paper, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December. 

From the story:

The paper is also shuffling some newsroom duties. Last month it mixed copy editing, page design, graphics, imaging and some photo editing into a single department, creating new job descriptions that will combine copy editing with graphics and photo editing with design. 

But despite its troubles,  the Tribune has also recently hired new staff members, including a new spokeswoman.
