PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia Inquirer, grappling with sharp declines in circulation and ad revenue, said Tuesday it expected to lay off 68 newsroom employees, about 16 percent of its editorial staff.
Several reporters at the Inquirer, Pennsylvania's largest newspaper, said they were told Tuesday morning that their jobs were being eliminated. The employees said that they were told to meet with personnel officials Wednesday to discuss details of their severance pay and health benefits.
All the affected workers will be notified by Wednesday, and their layoff dates and benefits will vary, said company spokesman Jay Devine.
