Chron starts offering buyouts to reporters

The Chronicle has begun the process of offering buyouts to reporters and photographers as part of paper's plan to eliminate 100 jobs — 25 percent — of its newsroom. The first 20 cut were managers, and on Friday the managers who survived started going from desk to desk, tapping on the shoulders of the rank-and-file newsroom staffers being offered buyouts.
