Layoffs Hit Union-Tribune Newsroom
About 35 newsroom employees were laid off at The San Diego Union-Tribune on Thursday, the seventh round of job cuts in the last four years and the first under the newspaper's new editor.
The layoffs, part of a planned reorganization, included familiar bylines: nationally syndicated columnist Ruben Navarrette and veteran reporters such as Anne Krueger (East County), Jeff Ristine (Just Fix It), Leslie Berestein (the U.S.-Mexico border), Michael Burge (North County) and John Marelius (politics).
It continues the slimming of the newspaper, which since late 2006 has cut more than half its staff to combat sagging advertising revenues.
Other confirmed laid-off employees included:
Leonel Sanchez, reporter
Tovin Lapan, reporter
Ozzie Roberts, reporter
Bruce Lieberman, reporter
Jeff Dillon, SignOnSanDiego.comRobert Pincus, [art] critic
David Gaddis Smith, foreign editor
Steve Adamek, copy editor
Martin Zimmerman, copy editor
Derrik Chinn, content producer
Marcia Manna, community news writer
Leana DeKock, sports desk
The difference this time: The changes are being articulated as part of a new, refocused vision for the newspaper. more

Yet Keli Dailey still lingers on. This makes no sense at all.
