The Dallas Morning News Begins Previously Announced Reduction in Force

Tuesday 07. April 2009 - As part of cost-cutting measures previously announced by parent company A. H. Belo Corporation, The Dallas Morning News is beginning today a company-wide reduction in force.

The majority of the actions will take place today and tomorrow. As A. H. Belo stated in January, this initiative will affect approximately 500 jobs across all of its properties, but numbers for the individual companies were not disclosed.

“Our company continues to face unprecedented economic challenges during this prolonged recession, making this staff reduction a very difficult but necessary decision,” said Jim Moroney, publisher and CEO of The Dallas Morning News. “As The Dallas Morning News evolves to meet these challenges, we remain committed to serving our readers and community in important and unique ways.”
