he Journal Times plans to cut 39 jobs that appear to be associated with production of the daily newspaper in Racine.
Positions
being eliminated include press operators, maintenance workers and
packaging associates. The Journal Times, part of Lee Enterprises Inc.,
notified state officials of the job cuts Monday. The layoffs are
expected to take place on July 14.
Mark Lewis,
president and publisher of The Journal Times, referred an inquiry to the
Lee corporate offices in Davenport, Iowa. Lee’s communications
director, Charles Arms, told a reporter to contact The Journal Times.
Lee
publishes about 50 daily newspapers, including several in Wisconsin.
Among the Wisconsin dailies are the Kenosha News, which Lee bought in
January; the La Crosse Tribune; and, through the company’s stake in
Madison Newspapers Inc., the Wisconsin State Journal.
