Publishers’ Weekly Gives More Pink Slips

In sad news, Publishers Weekly is laying of 7% of the work force, keeping staff salary freezes in place and eyeing furlough days (unpaid forced leaves of absence). Part of the individuals cut include the managing editor of the PW website as well as the tech writer/web main and senior editor and contributor to the magazine.  Given that the print side of newspaper/magazine publishing isn’t doing so well, it’s curious that PW would choose to slash the web staff.
