Ohio paper 'trims' quarter of its journalists

Some dictionary definitions of the verb "to trim": to make neat or tidy, to remove excess by cutting, to decorate. It's uncertain which of these Black Press had in mind when announcing that it was necessary to "trim" the staff of its newly acquired title, the Akron Beacon Journal. But the staff know what he means now. The company is axing 40 jobs, 25% of its journalists, within a month of acquiring the paper for $165m (£87.3m). (Via Editor and Publisher)
