The (Baltimore) Sun to cut 100 jobs


The (Baltimore) Sun will cut about 100 jobs through buyouts, layoffs and the closing of open positions.

Publisher Tim Ryan announced the cuts Wednesday in a memo to newspaper staff that was obtained by The Associated Press.

It's the latest in a series of cuts at The Sun, which is owned by Tribune Company.

Last year, 41 employees accepted buyouts and three advertising designers were laid off. The year before, The Sun closed its last two foreign bureaus.

Ryan's memo says The Sun will offer buyouts Friday to all employees. Layoffs will be announced July 18.
