***********************"We have really looked every place we can," publisher Ann Caulkins said during a meeting with newsroom employees Monday morning.
The Observer said in a story on its Web site that the 14.6 percent reduction means a loss of 60 full-time and 22 part-time employees in several departments, including advertising, operations, circulation, marketing and the newsroom.
Of those, 30 job cuts are in the newsroom — 19 full-time and 11 part-time, said editor Rick Thames. In addition, 14 full-time newsroom employees have been offered reduced hours, said managing editor Cheryl Carpenter.
