Indirect confirmation on Phoenix

Phoenix New Times, an alternative weekly, says the 31 jobs cut represent about 1% of employment at the newspaper.

Gannett spokeswoman Tara Connell tells the paper that the 1% story "is not true, though she would not deny that more heads might end up on the chopping block. Nor would she deny that other Gannett papers might be cutting staff,'' the story says.

"'As you know, Gannett runs a very tight ship,''' Connell says.
