Ailing Star and Tribune cuts 75 staff in cost move
Minneapolis Star and Tribune ceases its afternoon stand edition and lays off 75 employees in a bid to cut costs. The paper trims 30 news jobs, ends Minnesota Poll dating to 1944, and drops management bonuses. Total staff falls to about 2,400 with news staff at 200 amid flat revenues and an $8 million shortfall from budget projections. The cuts follow last year’s merger of the afternoon Star and morning Tribune.
