The retrenchment of US newspapers continues apace. Large and small are cutting back. Large first: Tribune Company titles, such as the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, are to cut costs by printing fewer papers, smaller-sized papers, less news and employing fewer journalists.
Small: The Deseret News, a daily based in Salt Lake City, Utah, is to cut 35 staff jobs because of falling sales and ad revenue.
And medium: Dave Butler, editor of the 230,000-circulation ="http://www.mercurynews.com/">San Jose Mercury News, warns in a memo to staff - posted on Romenesko - that cuts are on their way next month.
Please don't tell the World Association of Newspapers about this. It might dampen enthusiasm for its latest publication, Newspapers are a growth business.
