We reported on the recent layoffs at the Hartford Courant, a Tribune paper, but there are also cuts at the Tribune-owned Advocate newspapers. From the New Haven Independent:
The dwindling band of survivors on the good ship New Haven Advocate were disheartened to learn Friday that their corporate parent is continuing to whittle away what remains of their staff.The staff learned at a meeting that the alternative weekly’s parent—Tribune Co., owner of the Hartford Courant and Fox 61—has eliminated three more positions. That means two graphic designers, including New Haven’s Chris Fasanella, are out of a job along with the paper’s publisher, Joshua Mamis.
