New McClatchy reporting jobs in South Carolina

Twelve new reporting jobs will soon be added in South Carolina, McClatchy announced and The State (Columbia) reported.

The new jobs will be funded with money saved through combining McClatchy printing facilities in the Carolinas, the paper said.

The State’s printing and packaging operations are relocating to Charlotte and Raleigh and 70 full-time and 65 part-time workers will lose jobs, said State publisher Rodney Mahone.

The new jobs include five new Report for America positions in South Carolina that had been announced before. Along with Columbia, McClatchy has newsrooms in Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head and Rock Hill and reporters in Clemson and Beaufort, the paper said.
