By: The Wyoming Tribune Eagle has laid off two newsroom employees as part of cost-saving measures prompted by the economic recession.
Publisher and President Michael McCraken says the locally owned paper laid off a reporter and a copy editor on Monday.
He says the newspaper's overall employee count is down 14 people from January last year. He says most of the decrease has been in the production department and most has been handled through attrition.
McCraken says lower advertising revenues, higher newsprint costs and the company's recent $15.5 million press expansion are among factors affecting the company's financial situation.
Lee Enterprises, publisher of the Casper Star-Tribune, cut four positions from that paper last September.
