Positions eliminated in Journal-World’s production, distribution departments
Eight production and distribution jobs were eliminated Tuesday at the Journal-World.
The staff reduction, management said, was triggered by changes in printing arrangements for USA Today, which has been produced at the Journal-World for more than 25 years. However, beginning Monday, Gannett Co. Inc. shifted a significant quantity of the printing to a company-owned plant in Des Moines, Iowa.
These job cuts are in addition to reductions announced last week.
