Tribune Chief Rejects Assertions on Job Cuts
Tribune Co. Chief Executive Dennis FitzSimons rejected assertions that cutting newsroom jobs at Tribune newspapers was undermining news coverage, saying the company remained committed to producing quality journalism.
FitzSimons’ comments came a day after MoveOn Media Action, an activist group, complained that the cuts threatened the papers’ role as community watchdogs. He said that Tribune would still emphasize local news stories and other information that readers can get only from a newspaper or its website.
Chicago-based Tribune owns newspapers including the Los Angeles Times and broadcast stations including KTLA-TV Channel 5.
