USA Today, the flagship of industry leader Gannett Co., said Thursday that it would eliminate about 45 newsroom jobs.
The job losses reflect a cut of almost 9% to a current newsroom staff of about 500, USA Today said.
In a memo to staff, USA Today Editor Ken Paulson said the paper hoped to reduce the staff through voluntary buyouts, but layoffs were possible.
Like other newspapers, USA Today has struggled with declining revenue as advertisers shift spending to the Internet. Unlike most, though, its circulation rose, to 2.3 million.
