My tipster sheds more light on a pending newsroom reorganization at Gannett's flagship -- and reasons why layoffs or buyouts may be announced soon."Unlike many of Gannett's community papers," the tipster writes, "USAT's newsroom is filled with people ages 50+ who have been with the company for two decades or more. There are still plenty of 'founders' from 1982 around. I am sure many of those people earn $100K a year or more, and it doesn't take a Gannett bean counter to figure out that getting rid of some of those people would bring substantial savings, especially when you can hire recent college grads for 60% of that salary."
Well, CEO Craig Dubow did put everyone on notice, after all.
