Blogger: What about Gannett's big profits?

USA Today told news staffers yesterday that industry realities required the company to cut 45 jobs, notes the Guardian's Roy Greenslade. But, the British blogger asks: "Did those 'economic realities' point to Gannett's continuing profitability? Did talk of those 'realities' mention the company's huge past profits, or its commitment to a high profit margin?"

Good questions! USA Today employees: Was that part of the agenda yesterday? Please E-mail Gannett Blog -- or leave a note in the comments section, below.

    What about the employees outside of editorial who are losing their jobs? Are they getting buyouts, too? I doubt it...
