From the Associated Press
The Sun in Baltimore said it would offer buyouts to about 50 employees, including 15 in its newsroom. Tribune Co., which owns the Sun as well as the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, accepted an $8.2-billion buyout offer from real estate tycoon Sam Zell earlier this month. The other two newspapers have disclosed plans to cut their staffs by as many as a combined 250 jobs.
