Tampa Tribune cutting 70 positions

The Tampa Tribune is the latest newspaper to make job cuts, announcing today that 70 positions will either be eliminated or outsourced. "Our decision to part with valued employees was difficult, and we very much appreciate the contributions of all those who will be affected by today’s announcement,” said Denise Palmer, the Tribune's president and publisher.

Other changes include an increased emphasis on local content in both the printed newspaper and online through TBO.com.
