Chicago Tribune lays off 20 employees

The Chicago Tribune is cutting 20 employees from its pay roll — and many of them are from the Tribune’s newsroom staff.

The newspaper reported that the layoffs hit writers, editors and support staff. The Tribune Company declined to comment in depth on the layoffs, releasing this statement: “We constantly evaluate our resources and staffing based on our strategic goals and the business environment. We do not comment on internal personnel matters.”

According to media analyst Ken Doctor, the layoffs aren’t surprising.
