American Public Media Group Lays Off 10 in Newsroom, Cancels ‘Wits’

American Public Media Group has completed its planned organizational changes hinted at earlier this month, including the cutting of 10 positions in Minnesota Public Radio’s newsroom and ending production of its nationally distributed Wits radio program.   APMG declined to name the employees who were let go. According to the Star Tribune, the 10 reductions, along with two other vacant positions left unfilled, amounted to a 13 percent cut of the MPR newsroom.
