Oklahoman announces 57 layoffs, some in newsroom

(AP) – 18 hours ago

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoman says 7 percent of its employees will be laid off because of what it calls a struggling advertising environment.

Oklahoma's largest newspaper announced the layoffs Wednesday.

The cuts of 57 people are in all departments and include 19 in the newsroom. The staff reduction is about one-third the size of the last round of job cuts at The Oklahoman in October 2008.

Publisher David Thompson says advertising volume is soft for all media and is in the biggest downturn since the Depression.

Thompson says The Oklahoman's website is seeing an audience increase and that home delivery subscriptions are rising. He also says digital specialists are working to bring the newspaper to new platforms such as Apple's recent iPad.
On edit, I now see that it was also reported in the Oklahoman today: http://www.newsok.com/the-oklahoman-...financial-news
