Angie Muhs, editor of The State Journal-Register (Springfield , Illinois )
has resigned in part with the aim of preventing layoffs at the paper, according
to a staff writer, the Illinois Times reports.
GateHouse Media owns The State
Journal-Register. “I think her hope was, by not having her salary to pay, her
hope would be that there would be no layoffs,” said staff writer Dean Olsen.
Muhs had been with the paper for five years.
As Muhs was accompanied out of the paper by
the paper’s general manager after resigning on May 10, staff of the State
Journal-Register newsroom went outside with her in a show of support.
