The Hoosier Times newspaper group is cutting 17 positions
at publications in Bloomington , Bedford ,
Martinsville
and Spencer, The Herald-Times reports.
Lower
revenues and rising newsprint costs were behind the move, said Cory Bollinger,
Hoosier Times publisher, the paper reported. Bollinger is also vice president
of publishing for Schurz Communications, which owns the group.
Cuts are on
deck for The Herald-Times (Bloomington ), the
Times-Mail in Bedford, the Reporter-Times in Martinsville and the Spencer Evening World
publishing group. Positions are being cut in various departments at the papers.
Bollinger
said various steps taken, such as an early retirement program last year and the
decision to stop publishing on holidays, were aimed at bettering finances, the
paper said. “Unfortunately, we cannot deny the fact that we must make more
adjustments,” he said.
The Hoosier
Times continues to employ nearly 175 people in south-central Indiana .
