Akron News Now explains how it is now


Akron News Now (that's your old local radio news station now blogging on the web) posted the latest on the buyout at the Beacon Journal. The links we tried would not let us listen to Warsmith, but the post says briefly "The outlook is hopeful and the layoffs are no more" so it's "bittersweet" and "very sad."

Here's the post:

The outlook is hopeful and the layoffs are no more according to the union representing the Akron Beacon Journal.

Union Representative Stephanie Warsmith said 18 employees took one of the two offered buyout packages.

"It's kind of bittersweet, because we're glad that nobody is being forced to leave, but at the same time it's very sad," she said.
