In a letter to employes today, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel announced that it was planning to reduce its employe numbers by about 10 percent of the 1,300 full-time employes. This comes after a major reduction in staff last year that took many newsroom "names." I know of several more who were awaiting a buyout offer, so don't be surprised when you hear who is leaving this time. Morale has never been lower at the paper with even "stars" privately expressing their concerns. It's yet another sad day for journalism in Milwaukee.
