Managers of the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press tomorrow morning, December 16, 2008, will reveal to union leaders and their employees the scope of a new “business plan” which may convert the two old dailies into something like twice- or thrice-a-week newspapers.
The bosses will meet with union leaders first, followed by meetings with employees.
Rumors of drastic cost-cutting have been flying. One such unconfirmed report said as many as 300 workers could be laid off in the latest round downsizing.
Whether there’s any truth to the scuttlebutt will be known soon.
