Cincinnati Enquirer looks for 50 buyouts


By E&P Staff
CHICAGO Eight months after becoming the only local daily in the city, Gannett Co.'s Cincinnati Enquirer is seeking to buy out 50 staffers.


In an e-mail to employees Monday, Publisher Margaret Buchanan said the paper is looking to make the reductions among non-union employees.

"If this voluntary offer doesn't result in a sufficient number of volunteers, or if in the future, economic conditions worsen, it may be necessary to consider layoffs," Buchanan wrote.

On offer is two weeks of salary for every year of service plus health benefits for a period of up to 52 weeks.

The offer expires Aug. 15, Buchanan added.
