Although there is as yet no official announcement from the Gannett Co. - publisher of USA Today and 80 smaller, regional newspapers in the US (as well as others in the UK) - this report from the Washington Post (Gannett is headquartered in the Post's market) today suggests that additional staff cuts will exceed several hundred, possibly going over 1,000. Gannett has already reduced its overall staff sharply as a result of financial pressures on the company.
The critical issue of managing existing staff during this crisis will be a prime discussion subject during "Managing the Crisis" in September in London. This is a supremely challenging problem that demands creative treatment, and we'll be talking at the conference about who is handling this piece of the overall crisis most successfully so that participants can learn from what others are doing.
