Capital Newspapers cutting 12

Capital Newspapers, which publishes the Wisconsin State Journal and The Capital Times, said Monday it is reducing its staff by about 12 full-time equivalent positions, most from the two newsrooms. Company leaders cited the difficult economy as a move for the downsizing, which will come from a combination of voluntary and involuntary job reductions. Employees losing their jobs will receive a severance package comparable to previous reductions, based on years of service.
