Massive job cuts are planned at the Triangle's News & Observer. McClatchy plans an estimated 11 percent cut in its local workforce, including 27 newsroom positions at the N&O. Furloughs, and salary cuts are also planned (more from the N&O today).The cuts come at a time where a focus on state politics is sorely needed. Indeed, N&O brass say investigative reporting will be a focus for the "new" N&O.
N&O Publisher Orage Quarles III did say that the newspaper is finished cutting pages and space for news.
The goal now, he said, is to stick to the basics of coverage, ensuring a comprehensive report on big stories and emphasizing investigative work.
