Charleston 'Post and Courier' to Lay Off 25

Posted
By: The Post and Courier of Charleston says it will lay off 25 workers because of a sharp decline in revenue last month.

The newspaper has about 460 full- and part-time workers remaining after the cuts announced Friday. Last summer, the newspaper offered workers a voluntary buyout program.

Publisher Larry Tarleton says the local advertising market was down in the fourth quarter of 2008, but January showed the most severe revenue decline in the newspaper's history.
