Gannett to lay off 1,400 employees
Gannett Co., owner of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, will lay off about 1,400 employees next week as the largest US newspaper publisher continues to try to deal with a struggling economy and its impact on the company's advertisers.
Gannett Co., facing a ``difficult business environment,'' said it would freeze its employee pension plan on Aug. 1, the company announced in a memo Wednesday.
