Tronc, which purchased the New York Daily News, truncated half the
staff and editor in chief Jim Rich.
The Daily News, which once had hundreds of employees, is down to a
double-digit total.
Rich tweeted on Twitter: “If you hate
democracy and think local governments should operate unchecked and in the dark,
then today is a good day for you.”
Rich was replaced by Robert
York, editor and publisher of The Morning Call, a Tronc-owned daily newspaper
in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
