    I had heard about this, but was hoping it was just a rumor. 30 people in the building will be laid off, including 10 to 15 in the newsroom. The newsroom has 137 workers. Prepress, circulation and marketing will also lose people.

    It seemed inevitable, but that never makes it easier to swallow. Of course, it seemed odd that they were still doing a decent amount of hiring during a "hiring freeze."
