Following last month's elimination of 18 jobs, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
cut 20 more jobs Friday:
"These are unprecedented times, caused by the national economic slump, that require us to reduce costs," said Kevin Mowbray, the newspaper's publisher. "However, even with these reductions, we will give our customers the best print and online news products in the St. Louis metropolitan area."
Newspapers including the Post-Dispatch, which employed 1,029 as of Friday, are trying to cope with declining advertising revenue and increasing newsprint costs.
