Deadline over; no word on USA Today buyouts

Judging from Gannett Blog's unusually heavy traffic today, there's lots of interest in whether USA Today avoided layoffs by persuading enough newsroom employees to apply for 45 buyouts announced in a memo three weeks ago. The deadline was the close of business today; I haven't gotten any updates from my usually reliable tipsters at the main office in McLean, Va. I'll let you know as soon as I do.

USA Today employees: Please e-mail what you're hearing; see Tipsters Anonymous Policy in the sidebar, upper right. Or leave a note in the comments section, below.
