The parent company for the Hartford Courant has announced plans to eliminate jobs in an effort to cut costs, The Associated Press reports.
The newspaper cites an email from CT1 Media saying that some of the positions being eliminated include those in the newsroom as well as production and administration departments.
The paper reported late Thursday that it was not immediately clear how many positions will be cut and when that will happen. The Hartford-based company declined to elaborate.
The reductions are partly tied to efforts to trim production costs. CT1 Media’s parent company, Chicago-based Tribune Co., is centralizing copy editing and page design in Chicago.
Publisher Rich Graziano says the newspaper is committed to being a leader in news coverage in Connecticut and will continue to evolve its digital platforms and products.
