Topeka media outlets cutting employee pay

The Topeka Capital-Journal and WIBW radio are cutting employee salaries 5 percent to 10 percent.

Both news agencies are owned by Morris Communications, which hired bankruptcy attorneys earlier this year.

A spokesman for the Capital-Journal told Topeka’s KTKA-TV last week that it was business as usual at the newspaper.

Kurt Caywood, C-J director of audience development, said Thursday that employees are disappointed but are rallying around the fact that no one was laid off.

He said he knows of no other plans to cut costs.
